If somebody tells you that they know someone who has died from Covid, tell them how many people you know who have died from obesity related illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
They certainly kill more people a year. We should tackle obesity first, it killed both my grandmothers.

I’ve gone down this road. The next beat in this conversation heads right into masks/social distancing. “You can’t catch obesity (or heart disease or diabetes or cancer) from being in the same room as a fatty.”
Congratulations, NY Times just added you to the confirmed case database
Maybe you aren't very good at convincing people.
It doesn’t always happen in real time, because many people are slow. But perhaps the demographics (cnet2.cbsistatic.com) in my area as compared to yours contribute to cognizance of the weakness in this disease comparison.
“You can’t catch obesity (or heart disease or diabetes or cancer) from being in the same room as a fatty.”
How could they know that for certain? Also, no one knows how covid is spread, the "science" changes by the day.
It might even be possible to spin it as the obesity crisis and the covid crisis are one and the same as microplastics can be linked to obesity, science presently claims that covid can live far longer on a microplastic particle than it can in even a water droplet, and microplastics are known to be circulated throughout the world by wind and rain. As a bonus, my experience has been that those on the left/"low-info" types are already conditioned to opposition towards microplastics
How do people know they won’t catch or spread obesity/diabetes/cancer/heart disease by breathing it in? Is this what you’re asking?
Smoking
Precisely.
You can if they concernfag about others' eating habits and make you feel like shit because you choose not to gorge yourself on food.
The concernfaggery about "Are you anorexic?" or "Are you dieting? You don't need to be dieting, you're skinny as fuck" when you eat a normal human-sized portion instead of enough food to last a week in one sitting, is quite bluntly just sad.
Whoa. This must be the woman experience. Lol
Good points.
If other people can tell me to wear a mask because of a slim chance I might contribute to their death, I should be able to tell fat people to stop eating because their obesity is definitely contributing to their death.
Smoking kills more than covid. This isn't about our health.
But one of those causes didn’t exist until a year ago.
BTW I know 5 people who died of covid so far. So gimme whatcha got. But maybe everyone I know knows someone who died of covid because people are dying of covid. My neighber left for the hospital sick as a dog with the flu and came back in a coffin.
My neighber left for the hospital sick as a dog
There's the problem right there, like the Republican from Louisiana, he'd be alive if he had stayed out of the hospital.
He’d be alive if he got drugs the first day of symptoms. But I will tell you the truth and it does not make me happy to say this: he didn’t think it was a big deal when he fell ill. He thought it was just the flu. I mean it is the flu, its a flu that will kill your ass.
This is similar to many other flu like viruses. They are mostly all killed by the same drugs. This bug has one trick— high viral load. It is able to replicate unchecked for 2 weeks unless you get antivirals. If you wait too long there is too much virus for the drugs to work. At first day of symptoms the viral levels are very treatable.
They are lying. There’s a cure.
>We should tackle obesity first
Does obesity have a pill that costs 60 cents, that will cure obesity within a week? Is ther a cure for obesity that you can buy off amazon that will work in 48hrs?
Lets work on the the diseases we have a cheap easy cure for that will save a quarter million people in 1 year.
Nobody has to wear a mask. You can go to football games or whatever.
You can stop pretending covid doesn’t exist. Because there is a cure.
Can you hear me yet?
There is a pill for obesity, and in fact it works immediately - it's called PUT DOWN THE FORK.
It takes longer than a week to work and its a difficult therapy to stick with for some.
Curing covid is EASY. 10 or 15 dollars worth of meds and supplements. Done in a week. Done! Let’s start with the diseases we can cure with $10 in a week.
