CNBC recently put out an article titled “CDC study finds about 78% of people hospitalized for Covid were overweight or obese (Jr., 2021).”As an exercise physiologist, I can immediately offer some insight. Keep in mind, this is my opinion on the matter, I am not a doctor, epidemiologist, immunologist, virologist or expert in infectious diseases. I do however, have some experience in collecting and analyzing data. Therefore, as a disclaimer, this article is based on information that I have gathered to formulate my own opinion. I hope to put these puzzle pieces together for you, to help explain why so many people are being affected by Covid-19, especially here in America.
