78% of the hospitalized with covid were overweight or obese but over 71% of all Americans are overweight or obese so it would seem it is not quite the risk factor as they want you to believe but that said the black broad on cosmopolitan is fat, no doubt about it and being overweight or obese is NOT healthy and is associated with many health problems.
The problem with those statistics is how to measure obesity. BMI is a horrible index that ignores a lot of factors.
I've been in great shape at 240 and am in great shape at 210. But I'd have been considered obese at 240 just because of a chart? Anyone who lifts weights will fall under this umbrella.

But yeah, too many American fatties.
And then there is the obesity paradox.
