Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: they don't even try to hide their bias anymore...check out the author he did everything but say flat-out, "if you support Trump, you're gonna DIE!!!" Well, he's not wrong. If one of the biggest indicators of death from COVID is diabetes and BMI, then the south is going to have a big problem. No, he's wrong. Right now the biggest indicator of dying from C-19 is being a democrat, living cheek by jowl in a dense urban setting. Fat, hypertensive diabetic Trump supporters who doesn't live cheek by jowl like urban democrats is a heck of a lot less likely to be infected. Oh, cute. Maybe, but true. |

Quoted: Ha... The author is a progressive. Progressives believe all men are sexists. All White's are racist. A man can have a vagina and a woman can have a penis. The same person who believes this believes Southerner's will die disproportionately from the CCP flu. Shame on all of you for taking this moron seriously...

Quoted: https://wallethub.com/edu/fattest-states/16585/ Tennessee is the 4th fattest State in the Union. Mississippi is 1st place. The top eight states are all considered "Southern".

Quoted: Remember: It was The Southern Diabeetus Caucus that got Trump elected. Without us, US.GOV is Deep Blue for eternity. View Quote No one is hoping that the South gets burned through. We're just saying that the premise of the article, South is going to take a hit because of the prevalence of comorbidities, is not flawed. The South's saving grace will be population density, but that's nothing to pin your hopes on, because it's just going to take longer to rack up. NYC is going to burn hard and fast, and then be mostly done with it. It's going to be like flu bro policy versus doomer policy in real life. |

Quoted: Another instance of, "I'm better than you, so im going to point it out and tell you how you should live more like me" smug bullshit.

I'm taking care of the older folks in my life because I recognize they are at a greater risk from this virus. I'm supplying them with everything they need so they can stay safe at home. As far as being fat, well...try doing the hard work of not being fat. It's tough, but I manage to do it. Don't eat everything that can't run away from you and exercise. It works. It's also good for your health not to be so easily angered. Another instance of, "I'm better than you, so im going to point it out and tell you how you should live more like me" smug bullshit.

I think we will find that americans are going to get a wake up call as to what being healthy means as this disease progresses.
Most of us are are overweight (including skinny fat) diabetic (including pre diabetic) and with some heart disease and lung damage. The Standard American Diet or SAD is absolute garbage and smoking anything is stupid. But several of these studies are based on miles driven to suggest social distancing and these regions are more spread out and grocery stores are far apart. |

Once again it’s much ado about population density. Our neighboring county(Charlton) has no hospital, our very first case was transported into our county(Camden) from there. Charlton County has a population of 12K, not cost effective for a hospital to operate there; also a large swath of it is the Okefenokee Swamp. Density, Charlton County=16.4 per square; Brooklyn, NY=36,742 per square |

I'm shocked. Yes, because fat poor people are ONLY located in the South. Literally every other region of the country is full of perfectly fit, healthy and godless people. Its a harsh statement, but hes not wrong. I grew up in the south. Ive lived in the midwest, west coast, and the south (twice actually). There is a huge difference in cultures and obesity rates. My wifes from the midwest, and when we moved to the south she was amazed by it. The obesity part really isnt even debatable. By any numerical metric that you use, the south has more obesity, by far. |
