Did they control for other factors, like (for instance) legal over-the-counter hydroxychloroquine, like (for instance) Vietnam and Laos have?

Vietnam is full of skinny people therefore they were not hit hard. Although they have an obesity problem on the rise. This is a pandemic 30 years in the making. If we just addressed the obesity problem this wouldn't even be worse than the flu. I've been saying for the past year, if this hit in the 60's/70's it wouldn't have done anything.

Why would you control for something that has no impact?
