Not that we didn’t know it already, but interesting article/studies that explain why obesity is such an issue for those infected with Covid. Vaccine or not, Dr’s and the media (television and print) need to be pounding on this if they truly want to save people. Losing weight is the simplest thing anyone can do to limit their severity and improve their outcomes and the benefits beyond Covid mitigation are a hundred-fold.

It’s like the meme above of a 400 lbs man with a mask. The media has told us one thing in that picture will save us while the other is of no consequence; when it’s 100% the opposite.Instead, I walk into Target and see marketing of fat women in athletic clothes telling them to be proud of their bodies.
