Are Covid19 deaths greater amongst obese people?

[Pilatus]

As above,if that is the case is that the part of the reason the death rate is so high in the USA.
Also if one looks at Flighradar Americans are flying around as
if Covid19 did not exist!!!!

Obesity Diabetes and a report this morning shows lack of activity. 66% of those who died apparently had restricted movement due to disability ( how much of this was obesity? ) Sorry I have zero tolerance for those who cannot stop stuffing themselves.

many thanks for your post, I think I will have to read that report a bit at a time, know doubt a lot of info, perhaps too much for a country bumpkin like me to take in all at once.

Don't be daft - if you can get your head round glyphosate resistant weeds, CFSB in OSR / spraying of beneficials and BTB control / spread this is a walk in the park .

It's the same but different. Farm based trials - but the crop is humans.

Age is the biggest overall factor. It's all about overlapping circles / Venn diagrams, the highest proportions of smokers are in younger age groups, that skews the figure of risk down for smokers as a whole.

The French did a study which concluded that smokers got something like 50% extra protection from getting Covid. However, if you did get Covid, as a smoker you were far more likely to suffer serious implications compared to none smokers. (Can't remember the details but it was reviewing the outbreak on a French aircraft carrier)

I understood that now they believe that these figureds are skewed by the age of smokers in the population

Is that because most people naturally want to be socially distant of smokers?!
