I agree with you entirely that there's an obesity problem. When it comes to covid deaths, though, the CDC report this week says that the vast majority--about 46%--are coinfections with flu.

- epistasis 5y agoNot flu alone, but flu or pneumonia. What's the significance of this?
- williamstein 5y agoInteresting. I followed your references and they say that the 46% comorbidity is "Influenza or Pneumonia". Covid is a cause of pneumonia (=infection of lungs), so your statement "46% are coinfections with flu" seems misleading to me.
- ibejoeb 5y agoFlu also causes pneumonia, and they're listed together, so they're talking about flu and flu-related pneumonia. Everything in these numbers is connected to covid. That's the point. It's not my statement. You don't have to jump through hoops to indict me for linking.
