Hey! You can’t talk about these things. This is fat shaming and fit shaming. Trying to tell me that having a healthier body would have protected me from this any virus, show me the proof 
Why are diabetics & people with hypertension in the same risk category for succumbing to a respiratory disease like COVID as lung disease patients? Partially because SARS-CoV-2 isn't a respiratory virus; it can attack the heart & digestive systems, too. https://khn.org/news/mysterious-heart-damage-not-just-lung-troubles-befalling-covid-19-patients/ …pic.twitter.com/txPX9j40RM

That's why I'm into the low-carb angle; plenty of people look "healthy", but due to carb consumption, only 12% are *metabolically* healthy. Plenty of "healthy" COVID casualties with undiagnosed prediabetes. Let's see if anyone who is religiously low carb gets hospitalized.

I follow loads of low-carb advocates, carnivore diet people on Twitter. I'm waiting to see if any of them is hospitalized with COVID. No one yet.

And/or because they’re both corelated with obesity. Obesity is throughline on top 4 comorbidities. It could even be literally the weight of the fat on your chest.

Which means two things to me. 1) trump country is gonna get it bad. 2) it adds another layer of irony that the people I personally know most scared of Corona are seeming the least susceptible—young urban women. You’ll be fine, Brie. You’ll probably kill me, actually.

Any virus makes it difficult to manage blood sugar levels for Type 1 diabetics. Likely the same for Type 2. And there are reports hi blood pressure meds may boost ACE2 receptors increasing virus entry into the heart & lungs.

This is bad. However, ppl w/ diabetes also have severe problems with the basement membrane in their lungs. That probably leads to more diabetics dying from SARS-CoV-2 than cardiac issues.

Cardiac and respiratory damage can result just from ventilator use. In its "push" mode, a ventilator creates a negative pressure that damages alveoli: long part of the cost/benefit trade. That it stresses the heart or is associated with encephalopathy should not be surprising.
