No? Ya got me.
Well, apparently, nearly all the COVID patients in New York are fat and unhealthy. Who knew.
The study says what many have in common is;
- 42% are obese (based on Body Mass Index - BMI - see below, if you dare)
- 54% have high blood pressure (probably helped along by being obese) and
- 32% have diabetes (Type II also helped along by being obese)
- and obviously several have multiple issues
My take away from this study: if you don't want to get COVID, stay away from fat New Yorkers.
Okay, it's so easy to criticize other people. Hmmm...maybe that's what I'll do today. Ba da boom!
Anyway, the take away is - stay healthy. And if you want to see if you are an honourary New Yorker, here is a chart so you can check your own Body Mass Index. [This may not be for the faint of heart.]

Now let's criticize Canadians by looking at yesterday's COVID stats. Starting with new cases.
That does not look to be flattening. Let's check the provincial view to see what/who is driving this....
This is a chart shown previously looking at a Rolling 7 Day Average (to take the bumps out) of Cases per million population, by province.
Surprisingly, Quebec looks to be turning the corner, and Ontario pretty flat, even with increased testing. Hello outdoor patio happy hours...?
Alberta looks to be the real culprit here. Even BC has a slight uptick. But they are so low it is hardly an impact.
Looking at yesterday's death total....
Over 100 more deaths in Quebec and over 50 in Ontario. Although reports are that hospital admissions are down as are COVID patients in the ICU's. Stay tuned......

so, BMI says my normal weight for my height should be 140 lbs - HA,I would be next to skin and bone or anorexic if I weighed that
I warned ya! But the BMI is a controversial measure. Using it, most NFL players would be considered obese. It doesn't take into account what your weight is comprised of; mainly muscle or mainly belly!
