I haven't clue about statics so it's likely this is wrong but a quick graph of COVID deaths per million vs obesity rate for each country doesn't look like there

I haven't clue about statics so it's likely this is wrong but a quick graph of COVID deaths per million vs obesity rate for each country doesn't look like there is any correlation.

Also, if age is the #1 factor then Japan should have the worst covid as they have the most old people per capita but they don't. They also haven't locked down but they have worn masks. (not saying masks were why covid is so low here). Yes they are having a spike now. It's still tiny (1/20th) other countries with comparable populations sizes.
- astrange 5y agoJapan is kind-of locked down, mostly by canceling large events and keeping people home. They're working on the principle that covid has mainly aerosol transmission and is spread by rare superspreaders rather than just everyone. It's working okay but not as well as Korea.
