Number one reason for COVID deaths...Obesity ***Crickets***

[Freee-dame]

There is an extreme correlation between rates of obesity and deaths from Covid among countries, with a rare few exceptions like New Zealand, which is an island and thus capable of keeping people out.

There are probably several reasons why African countries have such low rates of Covid deaths. One of them may be their very low rates of obesity. Another may may be routine use of hydroxychloraquin for malaria prevention. A third may may be be that they have a much younger population in general then do the United States and European countries.
