What are your chances of survival at Corona?

The figures don’t lie

RIVM has drawn up a list of vulnerable groups who are at higher risk of developing serious complaints due to the coronavirus. These include people who are seriously overweight. One in three corona patients admitted to the ICU is overweight. You are seriously overweight if your BMI is over 30. If your BMI is between 25 and 30 then you are overweight. In the Netherlands more than 50% of the population is overweight to severely overweight. Time for action!

Being overweight means more health risks

Overweight people are more likely to be at risk of metabolic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. As a result, the resistance is severely weakened and the consequences when contracting corona can be severe if not fatal. It’s not that you automatically have a higher risk of a serious sale of the virus, but the chances do increase. There is only one way to reduce these chances and risks and that is to make sure your fat percentage goes to legs. So lose weight.
