I swear this virus is as objectionable as one can get! Picking on the fat and already sick!
I have.
I had a work colleague for a period of time...may he rest in peace.. who was a survivor of the Bataan Death March. He told me the guys who were mean, lean and fit (low BMI) were the first to go and died like flies. No fat reserves to tide them over rough times.
well.. since most Americans are obese.. this doesn’t help :P
But how many people in this country are pre-diabetic?
Aye, there’s the rub!
Morbidly obese folks have trouble breathing in the first place. Their fat makes it hard for them to really breathe deeply. They are usually very sedentary in their life style
Tough patients to care for in the hospital
But we have all these Freepers who insist that we are all gonna die.
Nice license you have there Doc. It would be a shame if something happened to it...
Body Mass Index (BMI) | Healthy Weight | CDCwww.cdc.gov › healthyweight › assessing › bmi
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems but it is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. Didn’t have hard data to confirm it until now.
About half of American adults are diabetic or prediabetic.
almost nobody is at any serious risk except the elderly who are already sick or immune-compromised
and recovery is extremely fast with just 3 days worth of these very cheap and plentiful little pills
(it appears logical that the very best practice may be to add cheap and plentiful antibiotic and zinc pills)...
at any event, there are now so many of these success reports from the doctors and hospitals ... that it appears USA can return to normal NOW (with simple advice to the small at-risk group to exercise prudent caution for awhile, period, end of file.)
I am going to call the White House and governor today to end the lockdown, free America, restore our Constitutional rights, and jump start the USA economy and get people back to work again !
Makes me glad I’ve lost fifty pounds since January. I’m wearing Large Polos not XXL now. Blood pressure down 30 points and no longer taking two BP pills a day.
Most obese people are overfed and undernourished, which actually creates, not only obesity, but obesity related illness. Marathon runners become very acidic and use up electrolyte stores without even knowing it. Those that over train are diabetic, have a thyroid issue, heart disease or an autoimmune issue, such as psoriasis have one thing in common, they are most likely low in Zinc saturation. This is why Hydroxy Chloroquine has been working. It works better when combined with Zinc.
Have you ever been to East Orange?
https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html
The prevalence of obesity was 40.0% among young adults aged 20 to 39 years, 44.8% among middle-aged adults aged 40 to 59 years, and 42.8% among older adults aged 60 and olde
OH CRAP! I resemble that!!!
ok so what is it with diabetes or obesity that makes the virus worse? what factors ? oxygen? blood sugar? insulin?
