    lockdown effects will likely take 2 - 3 weeks to show in new case #'s and 3 - 4 weeks to impact death totals.

    i think i asked this before, is there a site out there that shows the actual number of tests, as closely as possible, given on a daily basis, with the number of positive and negative results?are we getting 30000 positives a day out of 100000 tests or 20000, makes a huge differance in the way the numbers are looked at.

    The Denver post gives daily new cases & deaths for Colo AND they include the number of tests which is very informative.

    The answer to my question is about 3 weeks. UK looking into immunity certificates.
    Is an 'immunity certificate' the way to get out of coronavirus lockdown? - CNN

    Do you have a large belly? This would most certainly be a comorbidity. If so your organs are likely surrounded by thick layers of fat which is horrible for health. If you are muscular instead of fat your BMI could be elevated but wouldn't really apply.

    Too large at the moment. I gained 21 pounds within the last year. I’m working on getting back down.

    Agree there’s too much fat, but my doctor says I’m very healthy. Blood test, BP, sugar levels, etc. are good. I also performed well on a cardiac stress test 1.5 years ago.

    I don’t think obese is as bad as stated. You are obese at 6-2 196 on one chart I looked at. I don’t think that’s unhealthy.
    I look like a skeleton at that weight.

    I think you're confusing overweight and obese. 6-2 196 is a BMI of 25.2, normal weight is 24.9.

    Holy shit. Other than the US and Germany people are dying at rate approaching 10% of the time.
