Age is a multiple times larger risk factor for COVID risk than weight. So while weight is important, the real elephant in the room is an ageing population?

Very few people refuse to talk about aging, and it's not a problem we are equipped to solve or something unfamiliar to us as a species.

Plenty refuse to talk about rising obesity rates, and it's not only something we can address now but also a massive change (no pun intended) that has taken place in living memory.
