Actually, chubby is one of the problems of the U.S. Not just us Villagers.
We are high risk here in The Villages because;
We are older. Median age is 71.
We take medication, for things like gerd, for high blood pressure, for thyroid, for anxiety. We take them to make us healthier.
We don't exercise enough.
And we are fat. I don't think you had to come out and say it. 2020 is hard enough as it is.
Are you real skinny? Sigh.

I’m an Insulin Dependent Diabetic so I’m constantly managing weight, food, intake, exercise, mental and physical symptoms and my A1C. I’m not obese but it’s not because I don’t want a pizza, ice cream or decadent food. I’d love to eat whatever off the menu. I don’t because it’s a health risk for me. I’m not calling you out as fat. Many here post regularly about all the restaurants they are enjoying mid-pandemic.
I noticed a while back that a critical factor seemed to be weight When the photos of the (at the time New Orleans) deceased seemed to more often than not of big big people. A lady on News (in FL) just the other day was crying (and I felt her loss poor lady) that her ”healthy” teenage son who had been QTing religiously had died from Covid 19. The picture of him as a teen, he was obese. Strapped to a ventilator using extender straps. She stressed how healthy he was.
As mentioned I don’t know who is getting it right these days but this Doctor is one I watch as he gives briefs on stats daily and he discussed obesity yesterday.

It’s not PC to talk about obesity as a susceptibility for Covid 19 so it’s getting less attention than it should.
