    What does make a big difference in how bad a person’s COVID experience could be is their body mass index. A body mass index that classifies people as overweight was a big indicator of how sick they might get, Davis said.

    “We found that it actually increased the odds of needing ventilation or a comparable oxygen demand by 200 percent,” Davis said. By comparison, a person’s age, when controlled for other factors, only increased a person’s chance of a bad outcome by a couple percentage points, he said.

    Davis analyzed the outcomes of 450 people who were treated at medical branch hospitals during the pandemic. He focused on the characteristics of people who needed ventilators because that correlates with other poor outcomes, including deaths, he said.

    The Galveston County Health District has reported 242 deaths connected to COVID-19 since April 2020.

    In every case, the health district has said the person who died had a pre-existing condition that contributed to their death.

    Generally, most of the people who have died were overweight or had conditions related to being overweight, including heart disease and cancer, said Dr. Philip Keiser, Galveston County local health authority.

    Shocking, the bio-weapon only kills people who aren't well and are in poor health.

    Mosquitos kill twice as many annually as COVID. All the more reason to put a mosquito in the oval office
