Certainly Obesity is a factor. Is it the primary factor? Remains to be determined. Several countries don't follow the trend of obesity and COVID. New Zealand for example in your infographic has managed well during the covid pandemic.

That's all true, but South Korea only had 20k Covid cases to date out of 51 million people. The less who contracted the virus less died.

Another one is Hong Kong. High Obesity rate low COVID rates. Taiwan also faired well... while still low obesity rate but has been steadily rising faster than neighboring areas.

America's lack of leadership at the top.
South Korea has better leadership AND better citizens. As far as I know, they don`t have a cult leader fighting science. Look at these people.

It's up to the Governors of each state. Not only is America more obese than South Korea, it's citizens are more ignorant.

South Korea tested on a massive scale, enforced 100% mask laws, contact traced, and now has been able to reopen without any vaccine.
Cuomo sent covid patients back into nursing homes infecting and killing off more Americans...30,000 dead in a few months.

"America first" just goes to show how out of touch people are with reality. The U.S. is no longer a bubble nor will it ever be again.
A vote for Biden is a step closer to fixing that, in my opinion. And then immediately replacing Biden with someone half his f*cking age, lol.
Why? So we can be locked up in our homes again?

It's common sense a cover over your face keeps the body fluid from leaving your mouth and nose.
How long are we supposed to wear masks?



Forever?



You can make this argument even before Covid 19

It isn't just co-morbidity issues. It's also poor access to healthcare. Some of the worst death rates from Covid-19 are also in some of the poorest parts of America. You have people who find out they have other health problems that were never diagnosed because they would never go to the doctor other than for an emergency. Getting Covid-19 is how some people find out they have other problems.
