--5-foot-10-inch man at 175 pounds and 5-foot-4-inch woman at 146 pounds would both be considered overweight-- bmi has limited utility for folks who seriously weight train or body build, as i'm sure you know. the assumption is that folks have 'average' muscle/fat ratio... which is untrue for those who weight train at a high level (much higher level than average person). those who weight train at a high level have more muscle tissue/adipose tissue and the 'overweight' cut score is an inaccurate estimate of their health. according to folk wisdom: assumption makes an ass out of you and me.

Which, in context, is... not shocking ? How that relates to "inflammation" already reasonably well known ? Although... it likely wouldn't explain why Covid still mattered throughout Africa... or China... some other parts of which aren't as well known for problems with obesity ? Still, don't see the CDC going too far out of their way to try to associate Covid deaths in proportion to corporate pushed "processed food diets" much less... corporate pushed... soft drink consumption... even though "we all know" that those obesity issues are tied proportionately to "corn syrup" consumption ? And, that's probably why they'd put that out as a headline... "blaming the victims"... rather than addressing what Is MORE surprising... in why it is that there's an unexplained rash of perfectly healthy athletes who keep dropping dead ? But, of course... they refuse to acknowledge that's happening ? It's still missing the point, too... even knowing there's a link to obesity... that they failed spectacularly in addressing the problem... ? Why couldn't they figure out how to address the problem of inflammation mediated mortality in older people, obese people ? Because... they weren't trying ? And, they're still not...

As usual, useless epidemiological statistics. Those obesity hospitalisation statistics need to be by age because older people are fatter people. It's hardly surprising that slim young people were not hospitalized whereas the older fatter ones were. Maybe it was that they were older rather than because they were fatter. Or maybe the correct statistics were not reported by the writer of that article though they might have been reported by the epidemiologists who are hopefully not as retarded as they obviously are given the uselessness of information from official sources during the covid catastrophe. Just in that report, 42% of people are obese. And 50% of those hospitalized were obese. No ages given. But from that information, obesity might be not a risk factor at all. Since people get fatter from age 20 to 70 [near enough, more or less] and their resistance to covid goes down orders of magnitude from age 20 to 70, of course people who are hospitalized are the fatties = they are older and more susceptible to bad covid outcomes. But ignoring age, 42% is quite close to 50% so just randomly choosing people would give the 42% hospitalisation figure. The 8% extra for obese people is easily explained by age. They've had billions of infected people and millions dead. There should be huge multivariate analysis available by now with all variables measured. The variables measured have been simplistically pathetically few. Age, obesity, gender and that's about it. Thousands of variables could be measured, easily. Blood samples could give all metals for example - easy, very cheap. And HbA1c, and other dozens of other organic variables in blood, vitamin D, A all that stuff. Vaxxings done, age, weight, gender all sorts. Fill your boots! Maybe the problem is not obesity but blood sugar levels = the covid needs sugar same as the spike vaxx does which is why the vaxx comes with sugar included in the injection. Feed a cold and starve a fever = old treatment for illness. Maybe that's why. Covid involved fever. Starve it! Lower blood sugar to nothing. Also, put people out in direct sunlight for near infra red as they used to do in the 19th century for sick people. Now we know that produces big heaps of mitochondrial melatonin [see Medcram videos]. Going in the sun is not just for vitamin D3. Or, in winter, get lots of lovely infra red LEDs run on electricity. Mqurice
