quote:
About 78% of people who were hospitalized, placed on a ventilator or died from COVID-19 were overweight or obese, a new report from the CDC shows.

General statistics on weight in the US from the CDC website :

quote:
Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 73.6% (2017-2018)

And then there's the other bit from the Axios piece:

quote:
Patients under 65 who were underweight had a 41% higher risk for hospitalization than those with a healthy weight.

Dunno what to make of all this.

If I gain 35 lbs I can get my vax 2 months earlier. but then I’d have to lose 35 lbs after that.
