I mean, seriously, we've been trying to 'fix' NCDs for decades, and while they are in theory somewhat preventable they are still a large and growing problem in most places in the world

Moreover, the increased risk from having, say, COPD on COVID-19 death is lower than the risk of being 50 vs 30 years old, so it's actually not true to say that chronic diseases are such a large contributor to COVID deaths

Some diseases are particularly hammered by COVID, diabetes being one. I presume clarity is the problem with this statement which is indeed dumb - extra dumb bc it's trying to make a legit point but fails.

I feel like you have missed the point, to the point where you are accidentally providing an example of the fallacious reasoning he's talking about.

Technically, the only thing that literally(!) affects the number of all human deaths is the number of all human births – otherwise you’re obviously correct and insightful, as per usual.

Perhaps everyone here is not interested in the special case of diabetes. Is it becimes hard to manage that really is a problem. I'm not sure if the author of that statement knows that or is communicating it poorly.

Can I place a bet a diet/health nut said that? There's a whole amorphous cloud of denialist goo that exists so they can feel as if they're bulletproof and the whole horror is unhealthy people's fault.

And, ultimately, we’re arguing about the timing... Not suggesting preventable early deaths are acceptable, just that they are early
