What % of low body fat, fit individuals have died from COVID?

Junk food is cheaper. You can get a burger from McDonalds for a buck. In rural areas, fresh produce is definitely not as cheap as what you listed, either.

What are you talking about? I live in a very rural area. Less than 200 people in my town. There is a grocery store about 5 miles away with fresh produce and organic produce. More grocery stores if you want to drive 10-20 miles. No more expensive than when I lived in the city or suburbs. Also, there are tons of farmers markets around in the summer to get locally grown produce, which again, is not expensive.

I just lost an active, fit friend to COVID. No underlying health conditions that I know of. He was 65, but I thought he was in his mid 50s based on his appearance and fitness. I met him on Ragbrai (bike ride across Iowa), but he also did competitive rollerblading and skiing. Still stunned. My family has been taking COVID really seriously in order to protect others, but I would have thought someone like my friend would have been laid up for a couple weeks and been over it.

Our obese president who can barely climb stairs got over this thing, but my friend who was in great shape was killed by it. I'm sure fitness helps your odds, but there's still an element of luck involved. Please take this seriously.

Guess you weren't taking it seriously enough. Should start wearing your mask at all hours in your house.

Most photos I see of COVID fatality victims appear to be overweight. Rarely hear reports from the media about what poor shape the majority of the US population is in. No mention of getting active, getting fit. A lot of reports on COVID weight gains.Sad.:(

While few fit young people are dying from covid, many have faced very serious lung cardiovascular system damage lasting long term with appearance it could be permanent, so is a concern beyond just death. Plus as we know, the young people are spreading it to more vulnerable populations, so even if the young fit are relatively unharmed by it, they're aiding the spread which is slowing our recovery. Ignoring the virus and trying to will it away without taking precautions will only prolong its presence and spread and harm people and the economy for long. Anticdotally, to speak to your original question, a healthy fit 22 year relative of mine was bed ridden by covid for a week and was hospitalized. My significant other teachers at a college and told me several students are hospitalized from covid right now with severe cases, so while it's not super likely to kill young healthy people, it can still harm them pretty bad.

100%. I always love these posts where posters know multiple people hospitalized that are young and healthy. If you're going to make up a story, make it believable. Here's mine: I've known roughly 40-50 people who have tested positive. 1 was almost hospitalized but is now completely recovered; she is overweight. 1 passed away; she was overweight. No idea about pre-existing conditions on either. No one has had any long-term effects.

2% IFR! Wow that's 2-4x the average.

Over 9 million people die each year of hunger. Ergo, low body fat is deadlier than COVID.

I know 24 people personally who have been diagnosed with COVID. Only one had to go to hospital. Ages range from 21-82 and fitness levels vary but no one who was diagnosed would be considered obese.

You ever wonder if certain fat people are, counterintuitively, physically better and more highly evolved than thin people? Like their bodies are so efficient that they don't burn many calories during baseline existence, meaning they can survive periods of hunger better than high metabolism skinny people.

Not a useful trait in a time when calories are plentiful, but wait for the next Dust Bowl and we'll see who's laughing!

Look here for the pictures of those who died of Covid. So very sad.

Anyone know of a single athlete anyone who has heard of who has died from this?///////////////////////////////////

Any videos for the far greater number of people who have died from other causes?
