Maybe we start trying to address the obesity epidemic here before a vaccine gets here?
By requiring gyms to close, scaring people into stay in their homes, and offering free McDonald’s if you signup for a covid test?

Sweden has herd immunity
No they don't. Testing indicates 12% of their population is positive for covid-19. herd immunity theory dictates 70% of the population needs to be infected. What Sweden does have is a totally different culture than spain, france, the UK and Italy. 40% of Swedes live alone which is a huge factor is the spread of covid-19. The Swedes are not as demonstratively affectionate even to family members as most other nations. And the Swedes are rule followers so when the government tells them they should do something, they generally do it. With all that, the majority of Swedes feel their government has not handled this crisis well due to the high number of deaths from covid-19 and a high excess mortality rate.

Belle is there any medical reason that a Covid-19 vaccine wouldn't work on an obese person? Vaccines for other diseases seem to. Isn't it about anti-body build up? Based on weight/ height tables most football players are classified as overweight to obese due to muscle mass.

Link? Everything I see states 60-70%

For this particular coronavirus, doctors estimate that about 60% to 70% of the human population would need to have antibodies in order to have herd immunity as a species.
