Not necessarily "how well." I remember reading about how the chance of being diagnosed with certain STIs - ones that are treated with expensive medicines - correlates with income.

Covid appears to be a "rich country disease." That would suggest it's either (A) massively under-reported in poor countries. or (B) massively over-reported in rich countries. or (C) poor countries don't have enough old sick people to have high mortality.

It makes no sense to me why mortality should jump so much from marginally increasing the obesity population share; the pattern should look more linear. This indicates there is a measurement or omitted variable problem going on in the background.

The report tries to control for that, but they only add one variable at a time. In a multivariate regression, the obesity effect doesn't have to be zero, but I'd guess it would look a lot smaller.

Or inflates (conflates) their death statistics. Something about governments reimbursing health providers for Covid treatments.
