My friend’s sister died of CV-19 last week.

She was 36.

She was also roughly 260 lbs.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if the government had been honest about who CV19 kills and addressed those issues?
Letting the obese die is not kindness.

You are not a “good person” for not wanting to draw attention to that 78% of all CV19 hospitalizations are overweight or obese.

Govmnt should have focused wellness, health and activity but instead enacted policies exacerbated the problem.
Just like ignoring the media continued to ignore nursing homes while focusing on beaches- they’re ignoring the deaths of the obese while focusing on schools, where not a single death has been traced to pediatric transmission of CV19.
What if instead of “Teacher Dies of CV19” stories that were written specifically so the reader would draw an incorrect correlation between the dead’s career and cause of mortality- they wrote “obese person dies of CV19” where there is an actual correlation.
We’ve known for 11 months that obese people are at a substantially higher risk.

How much weight could my sister’s friend have lost in 11 months?

Our media and our government are complicit in her death. The fear of fat shaming is literally killing the obese.
