When Covid was first really noticed (around March 2020) there was a bariatric surgeon, Dr Vuong, from Texas who treated over weight patients. He noticed (and posted many you tube videos why this happened) that his relatively young but overweight patients, after a long successful fight to lose weight, dropped like flies from Covid. The doctor explained how being obese permanently damages lung cells and makes one so susceptible to dying from Covid. His YouTube on “How Covid-19 kills-I’m a surgeon…” was a wake-up call for me as some of my family is quite over weight.
