534 Americans died of Covid related causes yesterday.

@Doomflower They are tying any and all deaths to covid.

Car crashes, cancer, anything. They will find ANY obscure connection they can.

Someone could die in a car crash and they would say the driver got distracted by someone who wasn't wearing a mask.

Think of this - they used to blame every problem in the world on smoking cigarettes. Now the big scapegoat is covid.

@CestManan I won't lie I've had this thought myself. If a 100 year old dies of coronavirus I am like ... how do you know?

Then I thought about it for like a minute.

@Doomflower There was a brief time also they were trying to blame diabetes for all the worlds problems but that never really took off since no one was fighting about it.

@Doomflower So many people aren’t even addressing the fact that the suicide rate has increased...

@CestManan bad diet, inactivity, and drug use (including smoking and alcohol) are the root of like 90% of all chronic health problems. The other 10% are accidents or genetic lottery.

Type two diabetes is mostly caused by lifestyle factors. I know this because I've seen people FIX it with lifestyle adjustments. Sometimes they need meds too; however I don't know anyone who has controlled or reversed their diabetes without modifying their lifestyle to be more healthy.

Americans are so fat if we gain any more weight we are gonna mess up earth's orbit.

So...TLDR: Shitty health habits lead to shitty health outcomes when you contract relatively easy to survive novel virus.
