Most of the population wants to take risks with their health for activities that they find enjoyable. Heart disease and other chronic conditions are the direct result of that. It's not surprising that people are rebelling against lockdowns based on the current culture in western countries.

Heart disease isn't transmissible.

  If your aim is public safety then I suggest you start lobbying to outlaw alcohol.

  Myocarditis can be directly the result of transmissible diseases, even the common cold. That is, if you shrug off the cold and think your tougher than that, a myocarditis can a complication of it. Wonder how many sportspeople continued to train while having initial symptoms... https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myocarditis/symptoms-causes/syc-20352539 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/myocarditis/s...

    Most athletes undergo a physical at the beginning of their respective seasons, which probably includes testing for irregular heart conditions. That's how these cases get discovered.

    I think the point of the comment was about the difference between risking only your health (bad diet -> heart disease) vs risking the health of others as well (coronavirus 'rebels').

      Which is ironic because people with conditions like heart disease almost overwhelmed the healthcare system during the pandemic... "Approximately 90% of hospitalized patients identified through COVID-NET had one or more underlying conditions, the most common being obesity, hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease." https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6915e3.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6915e3.htm

        Not that ironic if you consider that you may have 'cardiovascular' diseases that you have no idea about and that are not caused by lifestyle.

        Post a source and we can debate it. Until then these are the facts.

  It certainly can be but not in the way you are suggesting. Every child's diet is set by their parents. Children can develop plaque in their arteries too. And when they become independent they will likely continue the diet that was started in childhood. However, this is a straw man. I commented on risk not transmissibility.
