Isn't that 25% actually lower than the % of LA's population that would be considered obese?

Don’t try to reason with them. This board is filled with a bunch of redneck idiots. They can’t seem to comprehend that going back to work means spreading the virus exponentially. They also don’t understand that when Billy Bob visits his grandmother while he’s asymptomatic he’ll pass it to her then kill her.

Just wait until someone you care about ends up with it. Then you can tell them, “sorry, but I’m not sorry. Should have taken better care of yourself.” Be sure you tell them in the arrogant tone you do here as well.

Now I’m hoping your parents or someone close to you is infected.

Sorry, not sorry. I’m fairly sure you have people close to you that aren’t perfect pictures of health like you’re expressing

Most of the deaths are older people in Louisiana still. Average age of death is still 70 I beleive

Those people aren’t obsese for the most part. The fact 25% of death cases are obese is extremely high. That’s pretty much showing you how much of the younger deaths is obese

Instead of turning away the elderly when the hospitals get too full, they should turn away the fatties.

That may be true. But people 20-30 pounds are not the ones with the major health issues. Having an entire country full of people 70, 100, and 200 pounds overweight is why the country is in such terrible shape.

Louisiana is one of the youngest states in the country, which would seem to suggest that its residents would have better outcomes, given that older people have so far been the most vulnerable to the outbreak. But about 43 percent of its adult population falls into “at risk” categories, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

A sizable number of young adults in the state have preexisting conditions. According to Denson, that means New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana might be looking at a different kind of outbreak than most countries—or even New York and Washington—have seen, including widespread hospitalizations or even deaths of young people.

Kaiser’s at-risk group includes all people over 60 years old and all adults younger than 60 who also have heart disease, cancer, lung disease, or diabetes. In each state, older people are the majority of the people considered to be at risk of complications. But the Deep South and mid-South form a solid bloc of states where younger adults are much more at risk. In Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Mississippi, relatively young people make up over a quarter of the vulnerable population. Compare that with the coronavirus’s beachhead in Washington State, where younger adults make up only about 19 percent of the risk group.

Not yet.

Just more deficit spending I'll be taxes for.
A "stimulus" I won't see a dime from.

I'm not blind though.
This shutdown will crush the entire economy if it persists.
Massive unemployment. Massive poverty. Death rates will skyrocket.

Considering the fact that 40% of the country is obese and has some type obesity-caused condition, my guess is that you know and care about at least one of these “fat fricks” as you call them. Maybe you should dial down the assholery?

How about you tell your close family member they are fat, they make poor life choices, they are unhealthy, and help them get better before a crisis like this happens? Or if they do have a different health condition such as hearth disease, asthma, etc., you do YOUR part to help convince them to shelter in place. And you help them by shopping for them, bringing them food, etc.

You can be 30 pounds overweight and not be medically obese. Quite frankly the real issue are the people that are like 300+ pounds.

Im 6'2 225. I should probably be 180-190 with my frame. I don't have diabetes, high blood pressure, or cholesterol. Sure, I could probably stand to lose 30 pounds but I'm not considered obese. I read an article that stated real complications with Corona virus supposedly don't start until your BMI gets to the 35+ range and really dramatic at 40+. That's really fricking fat. That's not your average dad bod.

Fat shaming people because they need to lose 25 or so pounds just points towards your own insecurities.
