People who work for the Red Cross can easily get sick from their patients. She was far more at risk than a typical 31 year old.
Wonder if viral load had anything to do with it. I know a 26 year old nurse in Pakistan died due to a high viral load.

Being black actually seems to be protection against coronavirus. There are almost no deaths from the virus in SS Africa. LINK

Maybe it was her 20% white genes that killed her.

If a person can depersonalize the victim of the virus, the virus isn’t a threat. “Obviously she died! She’s fat. I’m not fat. I’m ok. I won’t die.”

They’re just coping. Let them cope.

Morbid obesity is absolutely an “underlying health condition.” It restricts lung capacity and often leads to hypertension and diabetes, both of which are implicated as risk factors in developing sever disease from COVID-19. Many young obese people often have these conditions go undiagnosed.

looks the average person from Louisiana. This thing is gonna destroy the most obese state in the nation.


Actually, the trophy belongs to West Virginia right now with Mississippi battling them out for 1st. However, if they had a March Fatness tourney since there is no March Madness tourney, I still think Louisiana could make a run at the title.

Sorry for the lady losing her life though. Obesity seems to be one of the things that makes the coronavirus tougher to deal with.

In fairness, morbid obesity isn't exactly "underlying."

Not saying her weight wasn’t a factor in her death, but she’s not really that fat by American standards.

If you’re going to argue that her weight was a preexisting condition, then weight would have to be a preexisting factor for about 40% of the country.

. But she went to the hospital, was on a vent 24 hours later and dead before a week was up.

And? Am I supposed to me more concerned than if the same had happened to someone 94 years old or with full blown AIDS?

Metabolic syndrome is DEFINITELY an underlying health issue which puts people at risk.



Considering the number of obese people in this country presumably we should take this very seriously then

I’m not running a campaign of fear. I just know people who are living through it. Poke fun from afar. It’s super funny watching a relatively healthy guy in his 60s get hooked up to a vent and dialysis. Knee slapper.

They keep saying no underlying conditions.

The states that struggle the most with flu deaths are the fattest states, Hawaii, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia..

This is not unexpected.
