Yes, exactly as I said.Obesity, Race/Ethnicity, and COVID-19
Having obesity increases risk of severe illness from COVID-19.www.cdc.gov
I'll just leave this with you and await your response..........
The generalized "being fit is better than not being fit" is still a message (and with good reason) and there isn't any reason to focus on it more intensely than that.
They even point out (although they don't underline it) that the increasing risk on that page starts with "obesity" (BMI 30+) and not "overweight" (BMI 25+). That's because the big study they are referencing found a mild decrease in risk for overweight. But it's all fairly trivial in the end. The major risk factor is age. Hell, even being male is a higher risk overall than weight except at the highest levels of morbidly obese.
So yes - being fit and eating well helps, but it just isn't remotely important enough a factor to make it the focus of a COVID-specific public health campaign. It should (and is) part of the general health campaign the CDC should do and there is nothing wrong with them pointing out it probably helps your risk factor. It just isn't the focus and rightly so.
