This is a very rare case. It’s unfortunate but not the norm. If you are at high risk (obese) then take the precautions necessary to avoid getting it. Pretty simple

Good life lesson, maintain a healthy weight, eat healthy and exercise.

He’s fat. This isn’t news

An obese man never thought he would be on the verge of death? That's more of a news story than the stupid virus!

They are saying obesity is the number one factor and considering ordering lockdowns for obese people.

Those little debbie Swiss rolls are helping out...

At 21 he shouldn’t be morbidly obese either. Put down the cream puffs and hostess cupcakes spencer.

My heart swells with joy every time I hear that a young 'healthy' person has contracted the ChineseVirus, and we are one step closer to herd immunity and viral extinction. Smart folk are not affected by FakeNews fear porn. COVID19

And what was his starting weight CNN?

All you A-holes need to stop fat shaming this dude. Plenty of thin & healthy people get sick and die from this. More don’t, but many, MANY do! Does the media focus on the scary outlier stories? Yes! Does that mean it’s not dangerous? No! Wear a mask, wash up, and back off!

Pure propaganda

Before or after the 5th helping of tater tot casserole

THE good lord if giving this man a chance to get healthy being obese at 21 will shorten his life span Enjoy the enlightened life...

He needs to lose weight

Well he’s obese. That’s a big risk factor so he shouldn’t be tooooo surprised

Mild symptoms is what people are gonna be looking out for That shit is deadly

And still they want us go to the university!!!

21 people were shot, including one fatally, after large gathering in Washington, DCA teenager was killed and 20 others, including an off-duty police officer, were shot at a large gathering in southeast Washington, DC, early Sunday. Why word it this way? Was it the “large gathering” that led to the death and injuries? Because it sure seems your trying to send an implicit message here. As ignorant as you all are , you’re not stupid and your use of words is obvious. Stopsucking. Anyone surprised?
