I don't care about the moral aspect, I just thought it was established that obesity causes the body to be less able to handle ~any kind of stress. Is that actually incorrect?
Like, my confusion is that I didn't think we needed to go look for a new mechanism unique to Covid here.
Yes but the point is your point is added onto buy the possibility (likliyhood given the study) that being fat has a particular mechanism for it being worse than all the other co-morbidities we're talking about. That's what the paper is studying!
