Comment on Trying to Solve a Covid Mystery: Africa’s Low Death Ratesparent

Comments

Obesity is always been one of the main factors in COVID mortality. Really any mortality, for almost every illness being overweight complicates things.

However, it's taboo to outright say that. The Huffington Post runs a regular, "You can be morbidly obese and be perfectly healthy "article. I used to be well over 300 lb, and even now losing weight is one of my primary concerns ( I hover around 240, although when I slack off I'm at 250 again).

Even if you are morbidly obese from muscle (who are we kidding) that excess weight is still putting unhealthy additional stress on all of your organs
