And if it is only type 2 with special vulnerability that tells us something.

Meanwhile this guy always was a bozo:

Type 2 have ‘metabolic syndrome’. Obesity & high blood pressure, for example, are co-morbidities of COVID & are symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome means lots of inflammation, so if you’re already inflamed, the COVID cytokine storm stacks on top of that. Your Vit D is generally low with metabolic syndrome - if it is in the 60-80 ng/ml range rather than down around 20-25, I’ve seen it said that the cytokine storm doesn’t/cannot develop. Also, BMI is not that useful (doesn’t account for race, as an example). A better determinant is that your waist measurement should be half or less than your height - if more, that’s an indication you may have metabolic syndrome.
