Hopefully, that aggregation of personal health information is not available on the internet, at least for living individuals.

As I stated in the post you quoted, my point is only about the 78% number given in the particular study.
I posted that 78% of Covid deaths were among the overweight and obese and if you were obese you were 3X more likely to be hospitalized. My post also stated that those who died from Covid averaged 2.4 of the following comorbidities; heart disease, lung disease, diabetes and hypertension.
You replied: That *IS* a cross section of the US population!!

So, show me where the average American has 2.4 of those health issues.

You can’t. And my statement remains the same. Covid deaths are predominantly among people who are overweight and in poor health. That is statistically true.
