@gpurcell @shaarsh2 @whiskydoor @onlinelife_ Obesity PLUS associated morbidities double the risk of death. Every decade more than doubles the risk of death. Being a male ~ doubles the risk of death [roughly, pending on age] — PolitiTweet.org

@joe_shipman Overall, not Covid. People don't know how to work with orthogonal risk factors (that shd be additive in log). Obesity by itself is 1.3 but if you add correlations you end up around 2x. Age is >2x per decade. — PolitiTweet.org
