Your comment focuses too much on death despite pointing out that the death rate isn’t very high. What you’ve not mentioned, maybe because you forgot or weren’t aware, is that getting infected and surviving could mean long term lung damage,

Of course “diets” don’t work. People consider diets as something you get on for some results or changes and then abandon them or give up later. So what actually works is making it a lifestyle change, which isn’t easy either, but is at least
