As Obesity Takes a Greater Toll in Covid Deaths, Health Officials Are Quiet
Is there a person left on this earth that hasn&#x27;t heard that obesity puts you at greater risk of a bad case of covid?<p>I agree that maybe health officials could use this as a good opportunity to encourage people to lose weight. But let&#x27;s be realistic, it takes a long time and a lot of effort to lose serious weight. And don&#x27;t we all know that harping on it even more will make very little difference?<p>I had a conversation with a group of friends and the comment came up that unvaccinated people were creating a serious burden on the healthcare system. Someone else said that obese people are putting the real burden and that is where we should focus out effort.<p>Both statements are true, but only one of those problems can be solved in literally a few minutes with a single shot that is already paid for by the government. I think we need to go for the low hanging fruit first when we are dealing with a global pandemic.
