I recall reading an article about studies showing that the majority of people who were hospitalized for COVID in some country (the UK?) were either obese or had vitamin D deficiency (which can also be caused by obesity). I can’t seem to find it now, but it raises some interesting questions: Does all of society need to restrict itself to accommodate the safety of those who, mostly due to their own choices, are unhealthy? Or should those who are at risk or simply risk averse restrict themselves instead of demanding that all of society change so they can still retain some freedom for themselves? Should a child lose two years of socialization and education or should the obese adult just stay in? Everyone has different opinions on these tough questions based on their values. I can’t help but feel that choice must be retained at the individual level in the end, so that each can act according to their own values, their own perception of risks and benefits, rather than one philosophy of risk management being forced on everyone.
