Coronavirus COVID-19

But BMI is a factor and it appears to have a negative impact on the rate of severity and survival.

Indeed. It's a large part of why the US death rate was higher than most countries....

Obesity is the #1 comorbidity.

Interesting to see Haiti. They are similar in size to New Jersey but have an incredibly low death rate from COVID. Assuming they have some thin people living there.

Totally pulling that connection out my ass.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that they aren't germaphobes either, having reduced their ability to fight off infections to almost zero.

Haiti has 1671 cases per million people. It's on half an island that nobody goes to from the oustide.

FYP and the other half of the island is the Dominican Republic which is a major tourist destination.

That's not the Newark airport, or any airport in America right now.

I think it's funny that the url for the photo you replaced mine with says "Hatian citizens wait for flights". I don't think anyone from outside Haiti, goes to Haiti.

Dominican Republic has 30,525 cases per million. People go there.

I think it's funny that your photo for Haiti is of an abandoned airport in Arizona.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic share a 234 mile long border, most of which isn't fenced. I'm guessing people go back and forth. Haiti may be isolated but it isn't that isolated.

You sure it's abandoned? Looks like the Gila Bend airport as it currently functions....

They have no vaccines in Haiti. Only takes one person to super spread.

The Covid numbers would say otherwise.

They also have limited testing. That's why I am looking at deaths.

They have 42 deaths per million people. That's 160th in the world.

So, does Haiti, with no vaccines, have a lower death rate than New Jersey because the people aren't as fat, or is it limited testing?

I think it's because it's isolated. Seems no scientist has the answer, they're puzzled by the numbers.

Another prediction from the crazy evangelical right that came true. We'll see how long until the gubmint implements something similar here. Interesting times.

Vaccinated brains will melt down in 3 months, so who cares.

Dammit, Gil! We’re suppose to not talk about that.

Biden needs a PR firm that comes up with this kind of material and vaccinations will shoot through the roof.
