Imagine the kind of personal information Google will get out of this. I think they have an incentive to make it work.

My favorite are the slightly overweight (aren’t we all) people claiming obesity as one of their qualifiers. People no respect for themselves or others.

It's a legit claim, porterhouse.

CDC study finds about 78% of people hospitalized for Covid were overweight or obese

You are getting confused (again). In Massachusetts the criteria for obesity as a qualifying comorbidity is a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher. For example this would mean weighing over 210 pounds for someone 5’10”.

What I was referring to is the 30 somethings I know with a slight paunch (and BMI’s well below this threshold) who are shameless enough to claim it is obesity, along with whatever other lies they have justified to themselves to jump the line to get a vaccine.

Overweight (not technically obese) is still higher risk. And it's pretty easy to see if someone is fat.

Point is, they’re risk remains much lower than the individuals they’re stepping in front of.
