It's not the great one. You're speaking with the juices one.

And finally, New Rule, America's top health officials have to find the courage to do what the health officials in Huntington, New York did.

They told the entire town of 200,000 to go on a diet because as the head of the

program put it, with COVID-19 you're twice as likely to have a poor outcome if you're

Actually it's worse than that.

Public Health England found that people with a body mass index of 35 to 40

greater risk. Even being mildly obese makes it five times more likely

than catching the virus will land you in the ICU. And now people are gaining even more weight. They call it the quarantine 15.

Geez I remember when plagues had a slimming effect on people. I don't think it's a coincidence that the countries with the lowest

rates of obesity have had the fewest COVID deaths. Maybe China isn't hiding all their COVID deaths. Maybe their secret is that their obesity rate is 6% and ours is 42.

And pointing all this out doesn't make me a dick.

In fact, the shame is on everyone in media and government

who is too cowardly to emphasize how important an issue this is because the virus made it an issue.

Obesity was already killing us slowly, but you mix it with COVID and it kills you fast.

You can scream all you want it and me for saying that, but it won't change the scientific

truth of it.

Look, no one deserves to die because of their weight, and we should spare no expense protecting

vulnerable people no matter why they're vulnerable.

But make no mistake, America fighting COVID is like a boxer who went into the ring out of shape and is taking a beating for it.

Every day we hear the same warnings about fighting the virus,
