I’m 52 and a fat #### and I will put it in writing in my will to pay off any bets I made that I WILL NOT die from this thing.
I may die from many things in the coming years..this ain’t gonna be it.
I’m taking all bets. Mail me :)
buona sera
mich like the covid tests, bmi gives out a lot of false positives for unhealthy and false negatives for healthy
its an idiotic oversimplified assessment based on one ratio taking nothing else into account but only height and weight
overnight doing nothing, millions of people were overweight and obese because the ‘smart ones” went to bmi
there is something to be said for some famine resistance
I thought it was going to be ‘Italians’... Same diff.
What do you call 5’9” and 270#?
Bkmk
Obesity is a huge factor in Covid death.
So, “Fat Jerry” Nadler is screwed? Along with the bride of Harambe. That’s a shame......
Ask your docktah?
Get ready for the vaccine that works best on the least susceptible and works least on the most susceptible. Glad we’re going through all this to get to all that. /s
Yes. That would be the group that was born immune to it.
The BMI suggests the patient might be SOL. Hypothetically. But mileages can vary. ;-) :-D
Read between the lines, it seems that they’re not wanting to ‘waste’ any potential vaccine on anyone deemed ‘not able-bodied’ or ‘unfit’. “No way,” that doctor said. That about sums it up for me, anyway.
In all seriousness, if you get this thing, ask for anti-inflammatories, an antibiotic, HCQ and Zinc, unless you or your doc thinks something will work better. In certain people, this thing is no joke. I may have it right now - mild fever and quarantining until I re-test in a couple days, since I tested negative the first time.
I don’t expect it to wipe me out either. Most cases (like mine, if I have it) are mild or non-existent.
And if I text negative next time, I shall consider myself free to move about the country again. :-)
It not work?? Paging Dr. Fauci. (Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine ...)
I hope you are ok.
I hope you are taking something or DONT WAIT to get tested if you think you might have it.
And when I did have a dry cough about 3 months ago I’ll admit that I was a little nervous.
Then it was gone the next day. Might have been it. NEVER had a dry cough in my life. The oddest thing. Like something is clinging to the side of your throat but not fluid.
I am ####ed if I get it and need meds because I am in the Soviet Socialist Republic of NY.
My sister maybe could swing it for me in NJ.
If not, I would have someone drive me to the nearest state that would give it out!!
So why dont the see if basing dosage based on weight will help?
Nadler?
My doctor and family want me to gain weight.......Ill get the last laugh,Maybe being too slim is not such a bad thing.
