    Obesity is only an issue on the path to clearing the virus, because the immune response and viral damage can both be pushed "over the edge" by obesity (obesity means higher baseline inflammation and lung dysfunction).

    If the virus is truly cleared, it's not an issue. Plenty of obese people have contracted covid with 0 issues, and plenty of thin people (like myself) have issues almost 1 year later. Obesity only matters if you fit a certain immune profile to begin with. And since Trump got pumped full of antibodies, it doesn't much matter what his immune profile is.

    Feel free to downvote me out of frustration anyway.

      We’re not downvoting you out of frustration, we’re downvoting you because you’re wrong.

      No was has he cleared the virus yet. That doesn’t mean he’s going to die, but the timeline isn’t right.
