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. YouTube

It’s not PC to talk about obesity as a susceptibility for Covid 19 so it’s getting less attention than it should.
I had to kid you a little. I have so been enjoying my own cooking with probably better choices than if we were eating out. I try to do colorful and always include vegetable and/or fruit. We actually have been really working around the house and yard and both of us have lost a little weight. I just had to pull your chain a bit. Stay well.
