>>   * SARS-CoV-2 is likely here to stay, which means we have to learn

>>     risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19, your best bet is
>>     to lose weight and improve your general health through healthy
>>     diet and exercise
>>   * Even mild obesity may boost COVID-19 severity. Patients with mild
>>     obesity had a 2.5 times greater risk of respiratory failure and a
>>     five times greater risk of being admitted to an ICU compared to
>>     non-obese patients
>>   * Inflammation triggered by obesity may be responsible for a
>>     threefold greater risk of pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the
>>     lungs) in COVID-19 patients who are obese
>>   * Dysregulated lipid synthesis triggered by obesity may aggravate
>>     inflammation in the lungs, contributing to increased disease
>>     severity during respiratory viral infections
>>   * Processed foods, junk foods and soft drinks are key culprits in
>>     the rise of obesity and chronic diseases that in turn increase
>>     the likelihood of death from COVID-19
