former fat guy here: fat people tend to shed fat way more quickly at first, because there's so damn much of it, no eating disorder required. following the same line of maths, obese would be quicker, morbidly obese being like warp-speed.

It's well documented that losing weight generally gets harder and harder the closer you get to your ideal weight.

After losing say 50 pounds, you're body might go into starvation mode and lower mobility, slowing down the process. My bro science idea would be to eat lots of carbs and run like a maniac to counter the sloth.

On Wednesday, the U.S. surpassed 1-million COVID-19 deaths—a once unthinkable scale of loss even for the country with the world's highest recorded toll from the virus.The number is equivalent to the population of San Jose, California—the 10th largest city in the U.S.—and was reached at stunning speed: 27 months after the country confirmed its first case of the virus.
While deaths from COVID have slowed in recent weeks, about 360 people have still been dying every day. The casualty count is far higher than what most people could have imagined in the early days of the pandemic, particularly because Donald Trump repeatedly downplayed the virus while in office.

And I should note that it is not new. Just the hysteria around it.The true travesty is pretending like COVID-19 is magically different than other strains of the Flu, and causes all of this panic and problems. The same precautions should be taken with COVID-19 that you take with the common flu.
Just guessing but it looks like COVID-19 has a lower rate of contractability than other flus. Once you balance actual cases in with what we have (extreme case collection and not true mortality rate information), COVID-19 seems like a tamer version of the flu virus.

why should it matter that someone is literally 20x more likely to die with the novel coronavirus than with the flu, which killed 61,000 americans in the 17/18 flu season. so there's a potential of around 1 million americans dying from it. not a big deal, because reasons
