So which country is doing so much better due to obesity?
Please show that its fatass' and not just general stupid that causes the US to be so shitty at managing it.
No country has done well against Covid and if you were to draw a bell curve of general health across every nation in the world, it would match almost like a finger print. Almost every nation has a large section of its population suffering from one or some combination of co morbidities that enables Covid to kill them.
For America, its Obesity and party culture that is its weakness.
For a country like Uganda, it might be high viral load due to a lack of medicine and proper nutrition to feed their immune systems.
But either way, its always consistent that roughly 10-15% of a country's population can naturally defeat Covid on the merit of their health alone - and the rest face a steadily declining positive outcome expectancy the further back across the curve you look.
As for you asking me to demonstrate that its actually co morbidities and not someone's political ideology that causes them to be vulnerable to Covid, you only have to look no further than the CDC's own death data - which clearly shows that the vast majority of Covid deaths (95%) were resulting from a combination of having had Covid and at least one secondary affliction, like obesity, diabeetus, old age, smoker's lung, high prior viral load, etc etc.
