I know people who are dying or have died of this disease. I know doctors who treat patients and I read a lot from the doctors who are currently getting silenced over their push for treatments such as Ivermectin. This is really a different beast with it's own pathology and it can kill you in a lot of situations such as co-morbidities, alcoholism, obesity. If you sit on your computer all day you're probably likely to be seriously injured or killed by this disease because even if you aren't fat, you can still have fatty liver, cardiac issues, and vascular problems just from sitting at your desk. Basically all the nerds in tech who don't lift but do drink are a primary target for this disease.
