And what is your point exactly? COVID can kill an individual thousands of times faster than they can shed their other comorbities. So then what? In an ideal world, the government would have focused on health YEARS ago, but that's not real life. In real life my grandmother cannot walk and is overweight, and thus cannot do almost anything about it. So should she just die in your scenario? And that's fine because she's older and fat?

The pandemic has been on for 2 years now. Everyone can reduce obesity by consuming fewer calories even if unable to exercise. Let's focus on finding solutions instead of making excuses.

My point is that there has been a singular focus rather than talking about all of the things that can help. Obesity and losing weight is just one of those.

Several policy decisions ignore the science and have made matters worse.

I don't see how you're going to legislate for people to weigh less
