I am so glad someone else saw this.
He was so awkward it was embarrassing.
Jake Tapper, one of the WORST Sunday political talk show hosts, was honing in on him.
But I still think he had a point but it was buried deep. If given some thought it might have been more appropriately said.
I’m almost 70 years old. I have been healthy most of my life except in my mid-50’s when I needed a heart quadruple bypass.
I come from a very unhealthy family except for a few mid-years when life is lush and reproduction is upon.
Sister had horrible stroke at age 65. Dad died at 65, heart attacks since he was 40. Mother died at 73, lung cancer but she had been a heavy smoker.
Younger brother, early 50’s, has heart problems.
Now I have the benefit of American health care...Medicare that I paid for all my life and Cigna health. Besides my blood circulation problems, praise be, heart is good. I get check-ups and got some stents in me. Do not have diabetes.
I am heavy, at least I think I am.
But I’ve noticed, hey, maybe it’s just me, but all around me people seem to be way fatter....well way fatter than before that I remember.
I still weight what I did when I was 14 but hey, I was fat when I was 14.
But today.....please don’t say I mentioned it, but people seem so much heavier nowadays.
Azar did say the word “obesity” to describe a lot of Americans, right after diabetes.
I bet the increasing weight problems across the fruity plains is often discussed in those WH meetings.
Bear in mind, I am talking people I know are hitting 300+ pounds, to include my priest really. He checks in at 300 pounds and the archdiocese of Wilmington made him retire.
He thinks he was unfairly forced out (he is about my age) but damn, the man missed about a half a year of masses.
I wonder, doesn’t he look in the mirror? Does he think that all of health problems might in some way contribute to his health problems?
If you tell anyone I said this I shall deny. Cat stole my keyboard and typed it.
I meant ...don’t all of his health problems maybe come from his weight problem.
Fish......I have been reading some influenza studies which suggest glucose metabolism is a driving force underlying the development of the often deadly inflammatory response known as a “cytokine storm”. The studies may partly explain why patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of serious complications and death from influenza and other infections. Preliminary data indicate this appears to be the case for COVID-19 as well.
Diabesity.
