Body Mass Index and Risk for COVID-19–Related Hospitalization, Intensive Care Unit Admission, Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, and Death — United States, March–December 2020

Heiraten schützt vor Tod durch #COVID19 ! Natürlich Quatsch, aber der Thread ist nett.

Really excellent thought exercise. Most doctors would tell a patient to lose weight based on the data, but would never tell them GET MARRIED and prescribe them a Bumble subscription. Yet it's the same flawed logic and analysis. Like Michael says...this is

Given our two recent isolating at home tragedies, I feel a hypothesis that should be explored is having someone who knows you well capable of going "they are going downhill fast" onhand makes risk of death less likely.

@TFishcheese @ginacarano No. If someone can’t be bothered to get to a healthier BMI in the last 18 months, they don’t get to outsource the responsibility for their health to others. https://t.co/nhqbFCSnwY

so we should expect to start seeing medical professionals refusing to help single folks until they get married the way they refuse to help fat folks until they lose weight, right? right?

Continued proof that weight is a poor indicator of health and social connection is a critical contributor

because “obesity” is a value judgement not an indicator of health 🤷

OK BUT I was almost married. Does that count?

Marriage is very good for your health. COVID Mortality rate for never married individuals is 2X higher than for the married. I write about this and other examples in Get Married.

Eyeballs on this thread NOW plz.
