Which posters are in favor of these?

We're so fat

Agreed.
Obesity plays big role.
Moreso for younger people.

But, with average death age being higher than national average from all causes. Obesity can't account for a huge difference overall in deaths.

Sweden doesn't have the amount of fat diabetic's LA has.

Comparing two very dissimilar populations is silly. So let’s do this:

Sweden
742 deaths per million

Finland
83 deaths per million

Norway
72 deaths per million

And since Sweden is currently overrun with cases those two neighbors are offering help.

It comes after reports that Sweden was preparing to ask neighbouring countries to relieve the pressure on its healthcare system, with the number of intensive care beds rapidly running out as infections rise across the country.
"We have not received an official request for help, but we assess on a daily basis what the hospital situation looks like and we are, of course, ready to help Sweden if we can," said Kirsi Varhila, a government official in Finland, according to a Financial Times report.

Maria Jahrmann Bjerke, a Norwegian government official, told Swedish state broadcaster NRK that Norway would also offer medical assistance to Sweden, in comments which were cited by the Financial Times.
