But even simpler is context. Take your 87% overweight / obese statistics accounts for 87% of Covid deaths. But what wasn't said is :
According to statistics, over 70% of Americans adults are either overweight or obese. Thus the rate of Covid deaths would be overweight people even without a correlation to weight.

Yeah statistics are fun things. Like the children thing - how old is "child" by the statistic-collector's definition? Because, EVERYONE is someone's child. So are they talking legal minors under 16? Or anyone under the average age of puberty (12)? Or do they mean infants, toddlers, and newborns? And now that [political political political] are we including the children who haven't been born yet?
There are fewer people in this country that fall into the category of age (1-hour post-birth) to 12 years, than there are people that fall into the category of everyone else. So of course the percentage of kids who get sick and/or die from COVID-19 will be a fraction of the entire population of people who get sick and/or die from COVID-19.
