> I don't understand why public health officials

Public health officials don't actually care about public health. Another critical issue they've willfully chosen to ignore is the dramatic comorbidity of COVID-19 and obesity.

We are told to mask up and social distance, but nobody in the public health sphere has suggested eating less.

They are not serious people.

Public health agencies have been encouraging people to lose weight and exercise more for decades. I doubt that COVID-19 is going to motivate people where diabetes and heart disease have failed.

Across the pond they suggested to "eat out to help out". Very reasonable advice given the comorbidities.

Precisely.

There would be a better outcome if people were physically active and not depressed/anxious(this reduces with socializing).

Put down the hamburger and go for a run instead of handing over the keys to the nanny-state that’s proven itself incompetent.

I joined orange theory a few weeks ago and have been working out consistently. It has already had such a positive impact on my life. Wish I would have made this decision many years ago.

I feel like it's got essentially no coverage as a response to a virus that overwhelming affects overweight/unhealthy people.

Abstaining from junk or doing exercise has an immediate effect on your metabolic health.

Lucky you! As quickly as I move to a country and get my gym membership settled, the governments shut down the gyms. First Mexico and then France grrr
