Half of Americans believe the government should act to combat obesity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, reveals survey.
As America continues to battle Covid-19, numerous studies have now concluded that obesity may be one of the most important predictors of severe coronavirus illness. This discovery undoubtedly falls harder on the United States than other nations, given that it has one of the highest obesity rates in the world. These studies also show that that obese people of any age, including young adults, are at particular risk. Now that it appears trial Coronavirus vaccines are close to approval, the question remains whether the government should be tackling the underlying factors which lead to serious Coronavirus cases, rather than only treating the virus itself.
