If you are grossly overweight...you have major underlining conditions. No matter what age you are. The very first thing I do when I see the press says, so and so died and they had no underlining conditions. I google the name and look for pictures...
cant recall one that wasnt grossly overweight
This. My local news is in on the Hysteria. They did a story about a lady in her early 40s whom they described as having "No underlying health conditions". The story had a video of the staff bringing her out of the hospital and onto a re-hab center. She was on a ventilator and a feeding tube for 35 days. When they pulled her out of the front door of the hospital her girth was literally hanging off the sides of the gurney and she had been on a feeding tube for a month. So she lost at least 30 pounds and more like 50 in the hospital. So she was obviously morbidly obese, and likely had at least Type II diabetes and hypertension.
2 most common underlying causes.

RE: Quarantines on way to falling apart
The news keeps reporting more and more new COVID casess. What they NEVER mention is that is a direct consequence of "flattening the curve".

Also, the more testing we do, the more cases there will be.
I love how they never talk about the # recovered. All the idiot sheep hear is "North Carolina has 11,000 cases!" But they don't realize that is the total # of positive tests since this whole thing began...

Pretty sure that's intentional. At first I heard that those numbers weren't available but I've heard other sources quote those numbers. People don't understand that the longer we are quarantined at home the longer it is going to take to develp some sort of herd immunity to COVID. For some reason, and that reason,IMO, is the MSM, people think the only way to beat COVID is to wait inside for a vaccine to be developed.

No. The thing people don't realize is Covid isn't the ONLY thing that isn't spreading during this lock down. EVERY FRICKIN THING that makes people sick is also not spreading and going to be worse come this Fall. Flu, common cold, strep, you name it. People get that stuff too. Nobody has been getting sick for the past month or so. That means people will start getting sick all at the same time going forward. Unintended Consequences.

You mean other than the fact that this thing also kills young healthy folks as well?
So does the flu and pneumonia, but it’s not very common in them either.
Of course. But it does happen. And way more than initially thought when this thing hit, right?

So do car wrecks. Lets ban all vehicle travel.
This is so moronic. You do realize we have seat belt laws and speed laws along with other traffic laws to reduce wrecks and deaths, right?
Not to mention that car wrecks are not contagious.

Yep. We need everyone to shelter their vehicles in place. Ride public transportation w/ all the criminals, creeps and weirdos.
Matter of fact, since Gov Belly Button is doing such a solid for her constituents in Michigan, she should just ban the manufacturing of vehicles altogether. Overreach is her specialty.

Over 30,000 die in auto accidents every year. 3 Million are injured. We should ban autos.

Just assault autos. Background checks at every "we tote the note" used car lot, and stop online purchasing of assault vehicles and assault gasoline in larger than 10 gal capacity gas cans

It's because the drivers of those two places aren't following Social Distancing Rules. Tsk.

The media is pushing the leftist narrative that the government is the only thing that is going to save us from the virus. Can't get people to be willing to hand away basic civil rights in a panic if you offer them even the slightest glimmer of hope.

the fact that people are trying to compare a contagious virus to a car wreck shows just how much of a disconnect with reality some have.
