(8,086 posts)She's certainly not morbidly obese, but even so it's clear she's carrying more weight on her body than is optimal for her heart.
As such she is indeed at greater risk if she contracts the virus.
I routinely check out YouTube videos of street scenes in other cities, especially now that travel by Americans is so restricted. One thing that jumps out immediately is how people most everywhere else in the world tend to weight less than Americans. This is especially true of young people. Take a virtual walk down the streets of Berlin, or Paris, or Alma Ata, or Oslo, or Tokyo, or Kinshasa, and you'll notice the difference immediately. This reality hit home for me every time I've returned to the US from overseas.
Given our wealth, the state of public health and nutrition in this nation is appalling. Ignoring this, as with all other problems, will only make it worse.

(63,912 posts)I take a medication for two nerve related issues that is making me gain weight. I have gone up a whole size and I have not increased my intake of calories. So I am heavier than I was and I and I look it.
We don't know and can't make snap decisions about her weight. That's my point.
Her words reveal what kind of disgusting person she is.
