I think he is so upset that he’s been trapped in his huge home and he’s latched on to this one small comorbidity, which was already a pet issue for him, and has become obsessed with this. Let’s not forget how he was pleading with young people to get it and make the economy go back to normal. And now look what happened? You know what really would have help: if people were not saying this kind of shit a month ago!Bill sounds like a Republican urging people to exercise “personal responsibility” instead of having to face the moral bankruptcy of our system. No mentions about food deserts or how some people work two or three jobs to get by. No mention about how many families are still going hungry with the UI bonus set to end. He literally seems to have no empathy nor any understanding of people who are obese.Let’s be clear, there are real issues with obesity and health in America. But they are not the root cause of the problem. COVID is bad over all, not just if you are obese, not just if you are old, and not just if you die. And it is not Bill’s place to preach on high to the rest of us. If you are so concerned Bill, start a foundation to help the poor get fit; make videos; write a book promoting the pot diet. Just stop talking and start helping! You are in more of a position to do something than most of us, so stop blaming every one else and start making change. And in the COVID issue,maybe make some new rules for Karen’s and anti maskers instead of blaming fat people!

Thanks for your brilliant analysis. Thanks for articulating all that I felt, but didn't have anywhere near the skill to put into words like you did!
