I've been looking for data on the prevalence of various conditions in people dying of covid. Credit to Mississippi's Department of Health for publishing these numbers in an easy to understand graphical format.
Looks like obesity is the fifth or sixth most common condition behind high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and lung disease. About the same as neurological conditions and renal disease.
The low none noted number is also of interest.

I'm sure there is a fair amount of overlap.
In terms of obesity, about 700 deaths out of 8,500. Less than 10%. I'm a bit surprised it's that low considering Mississippi has a high obesity rate.
About a quarter had hypertension. That seems about right. That's a much more common condition generally than obesity.

there is some overlap
but the data show that many fewer of those dying were obese as had hypertension or heart disease or diabetes

Oh, we are worried about track record suddenly? Lol
“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
“ China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
“ Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that’s true. But we’re doing great in our country. China, I spoke with President Xi, and they’re working very, very hard. And I think it’s going to all work out fine.”
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart.”
“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
“ This was unexpected. … And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
Getting tired of looking at these bs takes that you rallied around and ended up voting for land now acting like those hopefully quotes are an issue for you but these weren’t lol
I’ve also seen you say they are always doom And gloom/negative but whatever. You’re a rational person hhahaba

I'm sure there is a conspiracy in Mississippi to make it seem that not so many obese people are dying of covid.

The majority of people dying from covid are not obese.
Obesity is a big risk factor, perhaps the biggest in terms of increasing a person's chances of dying from covid.
But less than half the people dying of covid in this country are obese.
Both of those things can be true. In fact, they are both true. Obesity is a big risk factor AND most people dying from covid are NOT obese. It is not complicated or hard to understand.

What even less hard to understand is someone who is consistently wrong is trying to pretend that when the cause of death is written as heart disease that obesity wasn’t still the driving factor.
Keep up the narrative. Eventually one of these times you’ll get something right.
Return to normalcy...

When someone who dies of covid has heart diseases and is obese, both are considered contributing factors. There are lots of studies that look at people with multiple contributing factors. Obviously it you have four or five contributing factors, your chances are worse than if you have only one or two. But the idea that most people who have died of covid are obese is not correct. Obesity is a major contributing factor, but less than half of the people who have died of covid in this country are obese. Interestingly, one reason for this is there is less obesity among the elderly. Also the elderly tend to do better if they are overweight (or even obese) than if they are malnourished and emaciated. This is true of many diseases for the elderly. It is better to be overweight than underweight once you cross 70 (in terms of life expectancy). That reservoir of fat gives old people a certain resiliency when they get sick.
Among the elderly, obesity ranks third in terms of how much it increases a person's risk of dying once they contract covid. Malnutrition is #1.
Anxiety and fear-related disorders strongly increase the risk of death. Depressive disorders decrease it.
I am not a psychologist but I believe both you and sturg suffer from anxiety and fear-related disorders (not necessarily the same ones), which puts you both in the high risk category, no matter how young and otherwise healthy you may be.
A little bit on anxiety and paranoia from the Calm Clinic.

Thankfully I am smart to understand that Trump is an idiot and I don't blindly listen to him either
