Apparently being obese makes you more vulnerable to severe virus complications. Do you know your Body Mass Index?

You can have it calculated for you on the internet.

OBESE is a BMI of 30 to 39.9

I calculated mine and I'm told I'm "underweight" with a BMI of 18.2. I think of myself as being a very healthy weignt. I don't intend to "fatten up".

Genetic predisposition to obesity "might" also cause vulnerability to the virus.

Extremely overweight people have other underlying conditions. One thing for sure. If we followed the lead of the Donald Duck "dr" picture taker quack there'd be a lot fewer obese people around.

Being obese doesn't really have any upside does it?
