He has a big problem.
Yup. And accordingly the Democrats have one, too, if they persist in making him their nominee.

Obesity
Is it a factor in COVID deaths? First I’d heard that, but I wouldn’t be surprised. A lot of people who are obese are that way because of poor diets, which can also cause inflammation and weakened immune systems.

The monumental failure of the CDC (and FDA, which is responsible for the terrible nutritional advice that causes inflammation and obesity). As an example of its mission creep that prevented it from doing its actual job, WTF is the CDC doing being involved in workplace safety? To the degree that that’s a federal responsibility (it isn’t), that’s the job of OSHA.

40% of extreme cases suffer neurological symptoms. That’s bad, but as noted, that can happen with the flu, too.

Fast tracking to find the best therapies. This is not FDA approved…
[Thursday-afternoon update]
Related to the post topic? Little Fat Man Kim Jong Un fails to show up at a celebration.
[Update Friday morning]
This is possibly related: Glucose metabolism may play a key role. That, along with the diabetes, would be consistent with the obesity. I’ll bet dollars to high-glycemic doughnuts that diet is a factor. Maybe putting people on keto would be palliative.

Just to follow up on the keto thought, unfortunately, there are few diets worse for health than hospital diets, which follow the disastrous FDA guidelines.

The Declassifications
…show that Durham is the Democrats’ biggest nightmare.
[Afternoon update]
We cannot have two standards of justice in this country.
Sadly, apparently we can, because we certainly have for decades. Hopefully, that’s coming to an end.
Irony Abounds
It looks like Putin turned the FBI into a Russian asset.
The Tyrannical States
Bob Zimmerman is not happy (to put it mildly).
Legally, it’s not really martial law, which is when the military literally takes over, but it’s certainly multiple violations of the Bill of Rights.

One way to improve the lockdown; stop being hypocritical tyrants.

South Dakota has a governor who is behaving responsibly, so the WaPo decided to smear her, because she’s (you know) a Republican.
[Update a few minutes later]
No, Raleigh police, protesting is in fact not a “non-essential activity.”
[Update a while later]
Note the comment at Bob Zimmerman’s post about the New Jersey dance instructor teaching on line alone in her studio, who was ordered to stop by the police, because she was “working.” Apparently, the state wants to make it illegal to earn a living, regardless of risk level.
The Coronavirus Commies
…censored.
This is great.
Trust The “Experts”
Public health authorities have failed us at every level, and the powerful people who were catastrophically wrong about China.
[Update a while later]
The long hard road to decoupling from China. We cannot have globalization with countries that do not share our values of liberty and individualism. But we should more strongly embrace the China that works: Taiwan.
[Update a couple minutes later]
A bipartisan call for WHO to make Taiwan a member. That of course begs the question that WHO is an organization even worthy of our funding.

The massive failure of the federal government in the pandemic argues against Medicare for all.
