We are dying because of decades of fast food, coke/pepsi, snacks / chips/doritos...tacos, burritos..etc..Over 800 people died in Mexico today
Covi just showed how mexicans are sick of obesity, diabetis, etc...

I know two people that died from it. One that recovered (22 year old).

I believe that with COVID-19 being much more vascular in nature, this is the discussion that we should be having and nobody is. My guess is that the death toll would be significantly lower if we simply took better care of ourselves. This isn't a disease that "spares no-one". My guess is that this will never be discussed on the public stage, not even in the "What could we have done differently" discussions that will come once things have really quieted down.

Yeah we see experts talk about "oh we have to protect the vulnerable" and then go on to say that really only 11% of Americans are free from ANY risk factor or comorbidity. I think 89% of us being sick/vulnerable/compromised (or maybe it was 'only' 83%, I can't remember now but it was high) is a much scarier thought than a virus that still only kills 0.26% (CDC estimated IFR) of people it encounters.

I had forgotten that AMC theatres were supposed to open today. Got pushed back to July 30. (which they apparently announced a while back but I'm slow)

Well it really seems that it comes down to being a fatty, which is a big no-no to discuss.
Obesity=Diabetes=hypertension=cardio vascular diseases.
These are all pretty much the big underlying conditions. Probably a major reason why blacks are more effected in the US (since more black Americans have died than all of the African continent). Blacks have the highest rates of obesity and hypertension.
But ya the discussion of take your vitamins, lose weight, keep in shape will probably never come up.
I would really love to see what is more effective in preventing high deaths from CV, masks or lack of fatties. SK/HK/Singapore/China/Japan/Africa all don't have a lot of fatties and low deaths. Western Europe, USA, Mexico lots of fatties, lots of deaths.

BINGO! It seems like such a clear correlation to me. Since the PC squad will crucify you now if you even hint at obesity being a negative, it will never come up. I've even seen articles where they discussed a COVID death and mentioned that the patient had no underlying conditions. Underneath the article the man was depicted in a family photo, and he was easily 300+ pounds.

It looks like Arizona and Florida may have passed their peak, without full shutdown. That'd be good.
It's weird because I feel like the obesity thing WAS discussed early on. A few brave writers even hypothesized that this may have been a reason for the increased mortality rate among blacks, without getting their houses burned down. But over time this discussion just disappeared in favor of "oh here's another healthy 29 year old that died, just so happens he looks like he has a BMI of 35, it can happen to you!" article.

Some positivity
My sister tested positive twice and had flu-like symptoms for a few weeks. Still slightly short of breath, but feels better.
She is in her mid-forties and smokes a lot.

Obesity = type 2 diabetes, not type 1. Sorry for the correction but there are a lot of thin type 1 diabetics running around out there. I'm 5'11" 170 lbs, so not exactly a fatty fat guy here.

I think for the first time, COVID lockdowns are getting to me.
I've been fine for the most part during these last few months. With my immune system, I can't be one of those people who just goes about whatever I wanna do and take risks, so I still go to stores and stuff, and do essential stuff, but in terms of hanging out with friends, going to restaurants, going to the movies, going on vacation... it's been nothing. I've been fine up until today where I realized I'm fucking bored of everything. Games, movies, TV, taking walks for exercise. I'm just like playing a game... meh not in the mood at all. TV? Nope? A movie? Nope. Podcasts? No.
I want to fucking go outside and fucking do something. Go out to a restaurant, go to a movie. Something.
Then all of a sudden I started to feel super claustrophobic and started having trouble breathing, then I kinda calmed down. I think I've been pushing this feeling away for weeks and weeks and it finally came out today because I had some down time where I had nothing but my thoughts, but for the longest time I kept busy so I didn't have to think about it.

I asked my diabetic specialist and she said I should be fine because my blood glucose is under good control and I’m young and healthy. Still not trying to test that theory out. My guess is indeed type 1 diabetics that are in good health have a much higher survival rate than type 2's in poor health.

She's kind of an average weight. Neither thin or fat. But I wouldn't describe her as a healthy person. She always has a cough, even before Covid.
PA cut indoor dining back from 50% to 25%. Bars, clubs, etc. still closed. Not a huge deal now since every place I've been to has set up tons of outdoor tables. I did eat indoors last night since there was a 30 minute wait to get an outdoor table. Indoors there was only one other table in use aside from my group.
I do miss going to the movies, but doubt I'd go now if they were open. It's much easier to find something to watch at home then deal with sitting in a theater now.

Interesting blog post from economist Tyler Cowen that starts off with a reader question trying to make sense of the exponential fall in cases that Sweden accomplished without a stringent lockdown or widespread masking:
Economist ? I rather think he should stick to economy. The problem is people should listen to people of science.

Wow, this is weird... but I’m heading to work with the shakes again.
Our building is under full lockdown and we’ve been clear for an entire month and a half, but suddenly, for no reason at all, I’m having terrible anxiety again. I was doing pretty good there for a while. I even got back into gaming recently (lol) which, two months ago, I thought I’d never do again.
I’m probably not alone here, right? Are any of you guys having big personal ups and downs?

Brazil | Projections and Real-Time Data for COVID-19 | COVID-Analysis
Made by researchers and engineers from Greece to provide real-time data and projections about COVID-19 in Brazil
covid-analysis.com
More 1,322 deaths today. We lost the battle. 100%.
There's probably a lot more cases & deaths but we're testing an abysmal number of people unfortunately. São Paulo state has 44 million people but we only tested 1,1M.
We're doomed.

It will only get down here after the vaccine. I don't really have any hope of things getting remotely functional before the vaccine.

The same people of science who first said masks don't do anything but now say wear one of else you'll go to jail?
They’re not.
If herd immunity can’t be achieved because antibodies don’t last, then a vaccine isn’t going to last either. This is seriously grim news. If there was one thing we needed it was for immunity to occur after illness.
We’re also seeing now that even asymptomatic people are getting permanent lung damage, while mildly sick patients are getting permanent heart damage.

Arizona COVID-19 patients being sent to New Mexico
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — People who have tested positive for COVID-19 in Arizona are being transferred to New Mexico hospitals because of staffing shortages and a lack of bed space, under a federal law that requires hospitals to accept patients from neighboring states if beds are available.

Did you read the article? It said STAFF AND BEDING is taken up.
"New Mexico has fewer hospital beds per capita than many other states, she said."

It's a very short article and that's the problem, omission of relevant information. The department of health numbers in Rep. Andy Biggs' messages speak for themselves.
Lots of other places, both in the US and elsewhere around the world, had it worse than Arizona has it now and they didn't come crashing down. The state will be fine, don't get carried away with the tsunami of negative stories.

Just hospitals overflowing and people having to go to a nearby state for treatment..... but LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS THAT WENT DOWN!
Arizona increased testing in the face of a crisis, which causes some numbers to go down... that doesn't somehow make the problem better. It just means more people with less serious conditions are being diagnosed.. which is important so they can know to isolate, but isn't somehow indicative of the problem getting better.
