Your issue is you think 100% of the obese working age population worked. But you go ahead and make your faulty assumptions.
Obese people should make their own decisions and the rest of us should have kept the economy afloat. Instead of your ~55% of working age people [not actual workers] that could have stayed working is much higher than the population that actually worked and consumed during the pandemic.
Lockdowns have undoubtedly caused massive generational economic and societal devastation. Look at what is happening around the country right now.
Problem is we were never honest with the people. Bill Maher said the same as well.
One of my first arguments with Carp income virus was that a blended death rate is the worst way to look at this pandemic. Another piece I was right about.
Bump for Zito.
There is no mention of economy in this data. It's just deaths.
All those liberty restrictions you drooled over gave us worse outcomes AND wrecked economies.
What a weird and stupid rant. The party of science is no longer interested in data and evidence
If California got "worse outcomes" how come they have a death rate of 154 per 100K to FLorida's 156
(and certainly lying about their numbers)
The wild thing is that their positions have not budged.
Trump was the problem.
Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer were the heroes.
It is baffling
Even if 50% of the obese population didn't work (which is asinine to believe) that's still basically 20% of the population without a job, According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics we saw a 5% loss of jobs from COVID pandemic. So care to explain how your plan is better? Oh wait you can't because we witness what happened when no one does anything about COVID. Brazil,which has a 3 day average of 3000 deaths
Proof of the power our media still holds. I was on the lockdown, all virtual, everyone in a mask, side. It's pretty clear that was the wrong side.
I still think partying in bars was stupid, and that crowds should have been minimized, but the data proves that the drastic measures so many of us were willing to embrace were obviously overboard.
Further, the reaction of government and medical officials to the crowds attending the BLM riots last summer make it obvious that they believed the restrictions were overkill as well. That was the real giveaway in all of this.
That was a big tell. Stay locked down unless you want to riot
I remember the lecturer having a meltdown about there were no public officials who encouraged lockdowns and protests.
Took me 5 min to fin several examples.
Just another thing he was wrong about. A massive list
No one still pounding the table about managing ones own health via diet and exercise. Take the lockdown to examine your diet and get outside and MOVE!
I member the "no correlation with obesity" positions like it was yesterday. It was amazing.
He doubled down the other day saying Russia isn't obese so it must not be obesity
The covid deaths per capita in R governor states and D governor states are nearly identical.
But the unemployment in D states is 39% higher than R states.
NY, the gold standard, ranks 49th and 50th respectively

Actually, bonus third option.
Fauchi
That actually takes the cake.
And how many of those people could work from home? I’ll tell you what. Lots of fatties in accounting.
