|cure: lead a healthier lifestyle.
How many lives could have been saved from COVID if people took this excellent advice? Better yet, if the government actually gave this excellent advice. Why do you suppose they don't?
With the knowledge that 78% of the people in the ICU in March were obese, my guess would be half (2.2 million people) at a low estimate but possibly closer to 3 or 3.5 million.
Once again, heart disease is not contagious. If I live a healthy lifestyle, I cannot still catch it from a potato chip eating couch potato. Genetics is another thing altogether.
Covid, on the other hand, I can catch from someone in line at 7/11 who probably doesn't even know they have it, or maybe they know they have it, but don't care. I hope maybe you can see why there is a difference here.
In fact, I myself, am overweight and have diabetes and slightly high blood pressure. All this should not be a death warrant for me. I am not careful. I don't wear a mask (what good would it do, this is Texas and no one else is wearing one). I shop in crowded stores. I go to Astros games. I've been lucky enough not to have caught Covid yet, but just in case I do, I feel safer knowing that I am vaccinated, so at least my body has a head start to fight it. Unvaccinated, I am pretty sure I'd have real bad time with it.
