0:07.1	Hello and welcome to the Dr. Tina show. In this episode, I'm going to be talking about how to avoid becoming zombie bait.
0:15.1	Or, in other words, how frailty and obesity are very often two sides of the same coin and how they lead to severely
0:24.5	worse outcomes with not only COVID-19, but pretty much any other condition that could possibly
0:30.2	hit you in your lifetime. All in all, we don't want to be zombie bait. With the current way things are
0:34.8	going, I joke that it's a real possibility. And I'm going to
0:38.9	start off by telling you a joke. This is a joke between a good friend of mine and I. And it started

1:27.1	And the joke, the joke began there. And so a friend you know what, you're going to be zombie bait if you don't take care of that. And the joke, the joke began there.
1:29.7	And so a friend of mine who we had this inside joke together, somebody asked us once, well, what does that mean?

1:38.6	What do you mean when you say zombie bait?
1:40.1	And we say, well, we were both really, really fit at the time.
