GP should have said "or with co-morbidities".

Digging into the <60yo cohort, it's shockingly uncommon to find one who wasn't obese.

A year of largely ineffective masking hysteria and not one noteworthy public health figure suggested putting down the donut to reduce the risk of death from COVID-19.

We shuttered gyms and discouraged outdoor activity instead.

Great point. The overweight should have just lost 50 pounds in 30 days.

Not sure if exactly that fast is possible but at least in 2 months it is.

What about that broadway actor who was 40 or so, young kid, had his leg amputated spent like 120 days in ICU and didn't make it? Pretty sure he wasn't obese.

anecdotes are not evidence. you're using a sample size of 1 to prove your point?
