Doctors treating COVID-19 patients say 73% of them are overweight

In the emergency rooms of virus hotspots around the world, medical staff are seeing a greater number of men than women suffering severe symptoms of COVID-19, with obesity emerging as another potentially aggravating factor. But experts are still unsure why.

Early statistics from Britain’s independent Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre on people treated in intensive care for the virus confirm this phenomenon: 73 percent are men and 73.4 percent are classed as overweight. French emergency rooms have seen “a very large proportion of overweight or obese patients,” ICU doctor Matthieu Schmidt at the Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris told broadcaster France 2, adding that “three quarters” of all patients were men.“I’m in the emergency room, and it’s remarkable — I’d estimate that 80 percent of the patients being brought in are men,” Hani Sbitany, a reconstructive surgeon at Mount Sinai Health System who has been treating COVID-19 patients in Brooklyn.

“I am very humble vis-a-vis this virus. I did not know it three and a half months ago. There are lots of question marks,” he told France Info radio.Some experts say that it might not be men’s vulnerability that makes the difference, but women’s immune strength. Another, he said was that “the assumption that simply men don’t look after their bodies as well, with higher levels of smoking, alcohol use, obesity”, adding that the answer may be a mixture of both biology and environmental factors.

One reason could be as a result of liquid formation in the lungs. Water denser than air...Gratefully saying well done to all health workers at the forefront fighting against COVID-19.

The victims we know are not overweight- Makinde , El-Rufai, Bala Mohammed , none is overweight. Research appears questionable!!!

So

They're suffering from Covid-19 not overweight.

And they surprisingly breathe air too. So?
