If you are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid when you are overweight or obese then the survey would show that nearly 90% of hospitalized patients are overweight or obese. That particular study did not show that. That particular study does not support the 3X assertion. The 3X assertion may be correct but other data must have been used to derive it.
Comprehension Bill. If you are OBESE, you are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid. NOT if you are obese or overweight. If you are OBESE you are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid.
