He's also actually pretty fit. Fitter than he looks. He exercises regularly, plays tennis and jogs.

My older brother doesn't look especially fit yet he's run over 60 marathons.

Having said that, several reports from heavily effected areas have suggested being over weight could be a factor with Covid-19. Many factors seem to be at play.

One of the many definitions of fitness is the increased ability of the lungs to absorb oxygen in the air, into the bloodstream via the alveoli. A fit person can put a lot more oxygen per breath, into the bloodstream. This excess of oxygen often results in a lowered heart rate to compensate. If the effects of Covid - 19 are to attack the lungs ability to take up oxygen, it is fairly obvious that a fit person might be in a better position to deal with a reduction in lung oxygen uptake than the equivalent unfit person. If you are overweight or obese, that usually, but not always goes hand in hand with low cardiovascular fitness.

Therefore, Obesity will almost certainly effect the outcome of Covid- 19 in a negative way.

You can be fit and still overweight.. Having all that fat around your organs is not good for you and you will suffer from it eventually.

Yeah but, speaking from experience here, most overweight people are overweight because they don't exercise or, don't exercise because they are overweight.

It is strange how fat works/accumulates isn't it.
You would have thought a good diet and exercise would keep it away but not always, obviously.
I carry very little visible fat on me but who knows what's going on inside [emoji38]
