“FOR”, “WITH”, “OF” CONvid-one9?
Between video games and other devices, not allowing teens t get jobs and liberal indoctrination and other policies, I believe it.
Yeah! That’s the ticket. Blame the vaccine victims!
Considering that the most common comorbidities for Covid relayed hospitalization in adults were obesity and obesity related issues, this shouldn’t be a surprise.
There are studies showing that moderate exercise helps with the severity of covid (science!).
I looked up the obesity % in teens from the CDC: 21.2% (though this was from 2017-2018, so with the Coof lockdowns I’m sure this percentage is up).
So, 61% is significantly higher. Maybe we should be focusing more on eliminating childhood obesity. But with the body positivity movement this may not be allowed.
Obesity also explains why minorities have worse outcomes with Covid. Blacks and Hispanics have 50% obesity rates.
It isn’t just youth. They lie about everything.
Among 148,494 adults who received a Covid-19 diagnosis during an emergency department or inpatient visit at 238 U.S. hospitals from March to December, 71,491 were hospitalized. Of those who were admitted, 27.8% were overweight and 50.2% were obese, according to the CDC report. Overweight is defined as having a body mass index of 25 or more, while obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30 or more.
Another scare tactic using “the children” to try to shake health costs they have created. This is not new.

Ok look, got to start with a dumb question...what percent of teenagers are considered “obese” these days? While when I think of “obese”, I think of someone who can barely move from a couch. These days it means a height to weight ratio put together by morons. Case and point. I am 6 foot 2 inches. My build is such that a healthy trim weight for me is about 235 pounds. But the moron chart says that means even when I am in great shape I am “obese”. Now sure there may be some people at 6 foot 2 that are built differently. And maybe trim for them is many pounds less than 235. But even they would not be “obese” . The definition was made by morons.
https://www.optimistdaily.com/2022/01/crispr-cas9-may-be-able-to-solve-obesity/. One has to give question to this. Crispr is looking to cure obesity. Create a ‘problem’ and provide the cure. Revolving circle of spike protein treatments and vaccines.
I know how to fix it. We can add
more to their SNAP cards. We can give them more free breakfasts and other meals on top of that. We can give them more free turkeys and bags of food at Thanksgiving time. How about free lunches all summer long. How about more free bags of food at Christmas time. How about not taking snacks and beverages loaded with sugar off of their EBT/SNAP cards. Can’t do that.
We can take responsibility for their problem and they can then go on disability and eat to their hearts content.
See? Easy fix.

In my opinion, which isn’t worth much, this CoVid problem has been an epidemic for the elderly, the immmune-compromised, and the obese, no matter the age.
We have a population that over indulges in food consumption for various reasons.
When I was a kid and a young adult, I was underweight. I could eat anything I wanted to and struggled to put weight on. That kept up even after 3 pregnancies. It wasn’t until I was in my late 40’s and starting menopause that I began to put weight on. And on. I could never take it off. It seemed as though the switch had been flipped. In 10 years, I gained 60 pounds, just a little at a time.
I tried many different diets. None of them worked. My doctor urged me to keep trying and put me on an appetite suppressant, and it wasn’t until I started having a tiny bit of success that I was even encouraged to keep trying. It took me a year and a half to lose 50 pounds, but I did it.
Then CoVid lockdowns happened and I started putting the weight back on. I gained 12 pounds easily in 9 months.
He wouldn’t put me back on appetite suppressants, so I tried another weight loss program. This time it was Noom. I know it’s not for everyone, but it is working for me and my husband. Within 5 months I lost 14 pounds, and I kept it off. I’ve lost another 2 pounds since then, and I’m keeping that off, too, even through the holidays.
My relationship to food has changed. I do eat whatever I want, but not as much as I used to want. Sometimes I have no desire for the sweets, but when I do, I have some as a treat, not a cheat. It’s a mental game.
A few years ago, I thought I was destined to be overweight, because it’s in my genes. I discovered that was a thought distortion. I am on the high end of normal BMI now, but I am at least in that range again. I don’t ever want to go back to the way I was before. Losing the pounds and becoming more fit has given me the confidence boost I needed.
I wish the CDC would start telling people the truth about food, nutrition, and obesity, and it’s relationship to the health of our bodies. What foods do you eat? When do you eat them? Why do you eat them? Take a look at these aspects of your relationship with food, and you can eat better for you.
Obesity increases COVID risk from what I’ve read.
At one point in Israel before the child vax was available the government decided that in certain cases like “morbid obesity” in children 12 and younger the vax could be administered.
In the end the panel of experts said the risk of vax side effects outweighed the COVID threat caused by “morbid obesity” in children.
I would like to know what the other factors were. 40 percent of the dead were from co-morbidities other than obesity.
