Thus when this is the overall status of Americans andit is a primary factor relative to serious and fatal COVID-19 infections,[235] then we should expect far more deaths from this or any such new virus than if obesity itself was not pandemic. Research shows that people with obesity were more than twice as likely to end up in the hospital and nearly 50 percent more likely to die of COVID-19.[236] Another study finds that more than 77 percent of 17,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States had excess weight or obesity.[237] |
A more recent study found that 88 percent of deaths due to COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic were in countries where more than half of the population is classified as overweight. In countries where more than 50% of the population was overweight, the COVID-19 death rate was more than 100 per 100,000. “Conversely, in countries where less than half of the adult population is classified as overweight, the risk of death from COVID-19 was about one-tenth of the levels in countries with higher shares of overweight adults.”[238] [239]Also, “two new, large studies from England and Mexico further detail obesity as being a risk factor for poor COVID-19–related outcomes, including death, with a UK study showing the highest hospitalization rate being among young adults.” [240] [241]
And obesity is estimated to be responsible for 4.7 million deaths worldwide[242] and 18% of all deaths in the USA (the latter stat was from way back in 2013[243] ).

but of course, we can’t mention OBESITY, ..because, you know, a large segment of the derp voters are OBESE...the ones they take for granted and then keep them in failing schools and imprisoned in dangerous, filthy and dying blue cities..
