Is that people aren’t being held accountable for their health in the areas they can control.

I saw a guy 100 lbs over weight wearing a mask today out side and he got in his car and drove off with the window down smoking a cigarette. If people were truly taking their health seriously they’d spend less time being fearful of what they can’t control and spend time on what they can.

The media isn’t covering the most preventable way to guard your health. It’s a shame

You should have already been pissed about the smoking fatties. They're driving up our insurance premiums.

I saw a fat old lady (who’d clearly lived a rough life) inhale a cig, put her mask back on, and then exhale.

She was also drinking a high gravity stout by a railroad track in Gulfport, MS.

We have known the health effects of obesity for decades. COVID isn't going to make people change.

The media isn't going to make people change. But even then, there are plenty of articles that break down which health conditions are the most affected.

This isn't the media's fault.

Fatties make everything worse. Covid is no exception.

I saw a guy yesterday where I live walking away from Burger King with a bag of food and a mask on. He was very large.

A forum user whose name alludes to Physical Training 24 hours a day 7 days a week, created a thread in which the importance of health and fitness and their affect on a Kung Flu patient are the opening post.

OP content consistent with username. I agree with your premise, but I cannot shake the suspicion you're going to suggest a local gym you like that happens to be having a membership drive right now.

I had COVID, not overweight and don't smoke. It has NOTHING on the Flu. The Flu is much worst. I can't believe we shut everything down because of this disease.

At the beginning of the rona when there was a grocery shortage I saw this guy on a motor scooter that was YUUUUGE. Probably his only disability was his weight. The dude has his scooter loaded up with Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, frozen pizzas, and chips. I couldn't help but to think to myself dude what you got in your cart is doing more harm to you than the rona.

Personal responsibility hasn’t really been a thing for awhile now. Do whatever floats your boat but don’t blame other when shite goes sideways.

Fair enough but wearing a mask and washing your hands is pretty controllable too.
