Doctors, in clinic terms will tell you that you need enough weight to survive cancer or other diseases that cause weight loss.<br /><br />Ironically, weight shot up with the end of smoking as some people could never lose the inevitable weight gain with quitting for various reasons.<br /><br /><br /> I think in encouraging us to be healthier( and no surprise the insurance industry finances these campaigns), we've come to assume it's someone's fault if they aren't healthy. Sorry but genetic research is proving that false.<br /><br />I'm not arguing against living a healthy life, I'm saying that won't help everyone. I'm arguing that unkindly judging by sight is not just unkind but stupid.I'm also arguing that it's unhealthy for females to be fashionably thin.

That isn't reflective of the general population.

The virus is not going anywhere, a vaccine is not a sure bet, and these type events (rapid spread) typically go for 18 to 24 months without a vaccine. In my opinion, we are trying to straddle the fence (keep some things open and close others), which is ineffective at stopping the spread and still causing personal hardships on folks and crushing our economy that will saddle our young folks with trillions in debt to pay back. My point is threading the needle is probably not possible at this point. There are certain jobs that are absolutely essential, and these folks will continue the spread regardless of what everyone else does. When you lift the shutdown some say they want, the numbers will rise again.<br /><br />It reminds me of the old AC Delco commercial- pay me now or pay me later. Life has risks- mitigate the risks as much as possible with common sense but live your life. We are not guaranteed tomorrow even without Covid.

They look at a list of vulnerabilities and ignore that 40% of the US is fat. <br /><br />Here's the folks at Johns Hopkins on it:<br /><br />"Our data show that if you are younger and you end up in the hospital with COVID-19, it is more likely that you are obese. The younger patients are less likely to have other major co-morbidities such as hypertension, heart disease, and even diabetes—so obesity can be the primary factor that impacts their COVID-19 course. Studies have now shown obesity increases the likelihood that you'll end up in a hospital or an ICU, and that your disease course can be more severe.<br /><br />The reason the co-morbidities aren't showing up in younger patients—let's say under 40 or 50 years old—is that the cardiac, vascular, and metabolic risks linked to obesity may not have had enough time to develop in a concrete way. You'll find that COVID-19 patients who are younger are unlikely to have heart disease or a prior stroke, and many are not yet diabetic. So we need to be paying attention to obesity as a major risk on its own."<br /><br />IOTW, the Powers that Be won't say, hey, we got a lot of fat young folks who can be in serious shape over this. And, it doesn't help if Slim Pickens sits there fat shaming them without a mask, because he's as likely, or more likely, to give it to them. <br /><br />But I agree with KF but not the fat shaming of victims. Bad Karma awaits those losers who do that.

We are facing an invisible enemy with no effective weapons. Only 2 patients on ventilators at a major hospital in the Jackson area have survived and left the hospital alive.

Health care workers are exhausted and the hospitals have increasing number of COVID patients .Till it touches one closely, does not seem real. Trust me, no one is bulletproof.
