It's official. The CDC says only 6% died of COVID alone
-
Six in ten Americans have some chronic medical condition and four in ten Americans have two or more chronic medical conditions.
I would guess that in 80% of those chronic conditions, obesity is the root cause..... and I'm being conservative in my estimation.
Obesity, and every chronic health condition that it produces, is a selfish, self inflicted illness that affects all of us, even those of us who actually can drive past Burger King and can say no when asked if we want to SuperSize that.
In normal times all of our health costs are increased by this selfish population, and in apocalyptic times, it closes people's businesses, causes children to miss out on education and destroys otherwise healthy, disciplined people's mental state.... and ultimately their lives.
Just like when people don't comply to law enforcement officers commands, every willful action has its consequences.... and It's simply not fair that the rest of us have to pay for the willful actions of others, be it closing the country to protect us all, or being forced to watch riots, er peaceful protests.
At the end of the day, numbers don't lie.

Sure, obesity probably is a large factor. But then we'd need to look at all deaths through the comorbidity lense in order to have an accurate comparison. That's what I'm saying in regards to numbers and people not getting them. Everything is relative.
You're also really digging the pink for sarcastic thing, huh? No shane, just funny.

My household got it...my inlaws..they are elderly and 1 has copd and both have cancer...neither needed hospitalization. I myself am not the picture of fitness and over 50. My wife the same as me. We had diff symptoms ...i had the taste/smell issue...wife had sinus thing...everyone had fevers. Stayed home and all survived. We had a pulse ox and the health department tracked our symptoms 2x a day. All clear. Fwiw..my MIL did the worst..really bad cough and mucus and ended up hospitalized 2 weeks after clearing quarantine because she wasnt doing her breathing treatments or using her cpap. Ended up with pneumonia..spent 5 days getting treatment then back home and doing good.. she tested neg for covid although she had it a month before.
Bizzare results but 4 people got it and recovered so far.

So by Kal's logic when Trump shoots someone of 5th Ave., it'll be OK if the victim was overweight.
Gorka... I used to think you were intelligent. My bad...

Glad to hear you guys kicked its ass, and hopefully you keep on kicking it.

Again an overblown crisis created and sustained for politics and profit. It's like telling a little kid there is no Santa Claus.

Couple that with the US life expectancy 78.5 years.

From the CDC site :
What's so hard to understand about that ?
It's even worse than that though :
There are more "errors" than just Ventilators though.
