46% of all adults hospitalized nationwide for flu so far this season have been obese; 36% of the general adult population is obese; obesity reduces ability of immune response.
Therefore, nothing to see here, move along.

Obesity is a risk factor no matter what the illness. Choose to be fat and you might not make it back!
