Some interesting or concerning data, depending on your BMI, coming out of the UK. This link has been posted in another thread but it's relevant enough to warrant it's own.

The Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre (ICNARC) looked 3883 critically ill patients with Covid-19in the UK. Here's the take home advice, this virus is having a disproportionate effect on overweight males. Of the 3883 patients in ICU 72.5% were male and 73% had a BMI of 25+ of which 38% had a BMI of 30+.
If you are a 50+ male who is overweight you do not want contract this virus, if you end up on ICU your odds for survival are as good as 50/50, with the data available so far.

I would say there’s a correlation between obesity and type 2 so it would be interesting to see the figures broken doŵn between fat blokes with type 2 (like me) and fat blokes without type 2 in terms of survival rates.
