Its no secret the world has a junk food problem or perhaps the wrong foods . Often we hear that in the USA people are much larger and this seems to be the case when you see photos of groups of people in the States. But some interesting figures have come out about Coronavirus and we all know the USA has been hit horribly by the virus with 50'000 dead in the USA, But you may not know , 90 % of the people that died in the USA were suffering obesity !! 90 % !!!! So that really is a statement. When this virus first took off I was thinking ,Oh my,If this gets into Asia millions will be dead with their poverty, But now when I look at the news ,Its the west thats getting hit hard , UK, USA and if 90 % of the deaths are people suffering Obesity than food is playing a big part here in the west .

Obesity predisposes one to cardio-vascular disease and the virus itself is coated in lipids so yes, not surprising,

In the news there are also reports that people in their 30's and 40's are suffering strokes because of virus-associated blood clots.

In Italy where its been bad , 25% of the population smoke and have weight problems . I'm not over weight ,but I smoke and Ive smoked for a long time so I dont want to catch it .

You'll be pleased to know that smokers seem to be immune to the corona, they are trying to figure out why, they think it is the Nicotine! You can buy nicotine patches 'over-the-counter' - no prescription needed, if this is confirmed by research.

NEWVISTA , hope your not to close to what I see on the news !!!! It looks so bad over there , here in oz we talk about and wonder how you all are coping over there. I've not heard that about nicotine , but it will kill you in many ways.

Stick with it, this actually happened.

This movie was banned in Malaysia, Indonesia and several other kleptocracies, not hard to guess how that happened.

Chatting to my lady today who is the Philippines with her mum and dad at the moment,,, She said that the lockdown laws have created a major problem in phil , She personally knows starving babes because dads can't go to work ,No welfare over there ! families are desperate for powder milk to feed the babies . ! my wife and family are fine as they are set up well over there ,But many are starving and the lockdowns continue! Everything is closed or stopped , Not even jeepneys are allowed to run.
Everyone who did have a job has lost it now! What a bloody mess this virus has caused!

It was noted that Egyptian Mummy wrappings contained Nicotine from Tobacco & Cocaine neither species being indigenous to Africa?

One was the stabiliser for the other & one could say they went out on a high. "Chop Chop" is great stuff as a snail killer. Which could explain why the termites only ate the wooden sarcophagus.

On that still have not heard what they are going to do in hospitals around Christmas when all of the Women that have caught "Egyptian flu" from being cooped up: Start to become Mummies?

The Insider is a great movie -- I'm hoping for a similar one to be made on Big Oil.

Here's another good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df32RijORLo&list=PLJgfDJuMOiUhL3lfzz9-k0f2K2PZA5tvn&index=2

If nicotine can kill the virus I'm waiting for Donald Trump to suggest injecting it.
When he opens his mouth his advisors must cringe!

Gosh, he's a twit that Trump! Americans vote for Twits! Remember Bush! another Twit,, I remember what Steady Eddy said, That once he went too America he realised he was not disabled!

We've voted for a few here too. Malcolm Turnbull, Kevin Rudd, Paul Keating, et al.

This is why I am not a republican - if we start voting for our own president instead of sticking with tradition, we'll end up bringing politics into a position that ultimately should remain above politics.
