People always point to "comorbidities" but many of the comorbidities in covid's case were things like "being overweight", you know, most of the population?


I'm not sure how globally applicable that point is, although it could be. Do you have a link to any stats? How do you define "overweight"?


Most wealthy countries are getting fat, and non wealthy countries have tons of other fun things that are common but would be considered "comorbidities" like parasites, or asthma (including pollution induced asthma)


Sure, but did you have a look at the infographic? It's quite helpful in telling you what it considers comorbidities.
