I was simply clarifying that the guy is not a medical doctor. Which he is not.
I haven't delved deeply into this but I do believe he did state that anxiety disorders are ranked #2, not #3 by the way. Not sure if that's what the CDC says or not.

Just checked and that is what the CDC says.
I think that anxiety makes the list is because that is something people reported having before covid, I don't see how that can really contribute to the severity of the covid case.
Sure, stress can affect your health, but if I filled out a questionnaire, "Have you felt any anxiety in the last 6 months?" The answer would be yes, but I am not overall stressed out.

Obesity 58 percent. Being merely overweight is 28%. Since nearly half the general population is considered obese, it's not saying much. The comorbidities, such as diabetes, was only 10 percent. So we're seeing a big drop because the current wave is hitting middle aged adults who have yet to develop diabetes, heart disease, or other comorbidities.
Also, the average age of patients has dropped sharply since last year and that's due to the lower vaccination rates in those age groups.
This topic was repeated several times last year by those who said Covid was a hoax.

I'm just reporting what the CDC reported.
For instance, I had bona fide anxiety this past year (it was even diagnosed and treated by my PCP), but I don't have it now. I think it's saying if I had COVID while I had anxiety, anxiety would have made it worse.

I know it was from the CDC, I was commenting on their inclusion of it on their comorbidities list.

So what?
Frankly, when it comes to clinical studies I respect the opinions of trained statisticians, experimental scientists, and biological researchers more than a regular medical doctor whose training and experience is usually elsewhere.

Curious, why do you think that is relevant? He's just reporting what the CDC study found. You seem to be implying that he is not qualified to report the findings since he is not an MD.

Oops, correct. Anxiety and fear-related disorders are slightly higher risk for severe COVID than diabetes.
1. Obesity
2. Anxiety and fear-related disorders
3. Diabetes with complication
4. Total number of underlying conditions

They are referring to people with anxiety and fear-related disorders. Not people who occasionally experience anxiety.

Yeah, I read a couple things (skimmed) and they speculated that is maybe the meds, amongst other things. Overall, they are prone to more diseases.
