Not really, I have lost 150 lbs and I play more video games than I did gaining the weight. Parents encouraging their kids to get outside and be active, by doing it themselves, is enough. Still time for Twitch schengigans and binge watching.

You can play video games, watch tv , eat whatever you want as long as you do it in moderation.

Yup. Pointing out that video games arent the problem.

So glad society has moved on from blaming that new rock and roll for the damning of our nations soul.

Dr. Atlas pushing herd immunity. Good for him

more great news work.

In one paragraph, they say that Dr Atlas is a neuroradiologist at Standford.

In the next they counter with Dr Romer a Nobel Prize winning economist from NYU who states “a lot of people will die.”

Then, in the next paragraph, apparently in an effort to question Atlas’ qualifications, they state “Atlas, who does not have a background in infectious diseases or epidemiology...”

So they trust an economist, but not a neuroradiologist because he’s not an infectious disease or epidemiology specialist.

Video games and tv is part of the problem bc it typically leads to a very sedentary lifestyle.... in moderation nothing is an issue.... I like video games as well and we own an XBOX one, PS 4 and a switch but they are partially to blame for kids wanting to stay inside but that is ultimately up to the parents....

My parents didnt care what I had. If they were outside, so was I. No electronics. It wasnt unusual for us to be kicked out and told not to come back until we were hungry.

Yeah I know I make my kids go out too but they don’t want too a lot of time.... I practice baseball with my son for about an 1.5 hours every day and he acts like it kills him...... he thinks I am full of it when I told him I played baseball from 9 AM to 9 PM when I was a kid.

Part of being a parent. It's not your job to make them happy.

Peter Navarro has been getting a lot of air time over his stance on Covid. Of course only by right wing deniers

Honestly, I'm not sure how many secondary factors are written on a death certificate.

Depends on how motivated the physician is when he/she is filling out the online (inTennessee) certificate. There’s nothing that states you have to list more than one.
It’s murky to say the least.
What one physician lists as cause of death might vary from another.
I don’t read anything into the CDC stat. Pretty meaningless to be honest. I probably fill out four or five death certificates a year. I try to be as complete as possible but a lot of what you put on there depends on your training and point of view.
As an example,
A 27 year old previously healthy female presents with acute tearing chest pain and right hemiplegia.
She’s found to have a Stanford Type A dissection. She undergoes ascending replacement with proximal hemiarch under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest
Unfortunately, she has a dense neurological defect on recovering from the operation.
Post op day 10 she aspirates and is reintubated with profound circulatory collapse and septic shock.
Three days after she is taken off respiratory and circulatory support and passes away.

What’s the cause of death?
I would list the Stanford Type A as the cause of death. None of the other would have happened without the dissection.
Others would list it third or fourth.
As I said, it’s murky. I cant glean any real insight from the statistics as they stand.

Thanks, It took me getting tired of being fat. Tired of not being able to do what I wanted to. Tired of not recognizing myself in pictures or reflections. Until I had enough of myself I couldnt change.

I tried dieting and working out as a weight loss regimen. But that didnt work. It didnt really start until I decided to change my lifestyle to be healthier. It wasnt a diet, it's what I eat. It's not working out to gain muscle, its exercise that I enjoy. And applicable exercises. I want to be able to hike, so working out my upper body didnt make sense. But getting out and walking did.

It's all small stuff, no secrets, main thing is change the mindset.

My question is if you had tested positive for COVID and say died of a heart attack would you be among the 180k?

Yes. That was Dr Birx's directive. Here is Illinois' interpretation of what Dr Birx said. Very literally, a cancer patient with 4 weeks to live could be placed in hospice, contract Covid, die, and... be counted as a Covid death.

I tell patients that weight loss is 90% what and how you eat and 10% exercise. One cannot out exercise a bad diet.
