Fun fact - this data isn't readily available. I had to find the total number of US military deaths from a source on worldometers, then find all 24 news stories to get their ages (the name and age of 1 person hadn't been released).

We don't have a Covid problem in this country, we have a fat and out of shape problem.

Even more than that, we have a government problem.

Imagine if the government had spent the last year demanding that people lose weight and stop smoking and drinking?

And as a society we started fat shaming the same way people mask shame?

We probably would have saved some lives.
