The true identity of Factor X

Until now, it was unclear why only Japan, an aging society, has such a low fatality rate. However, when we graph the fatality rate and obesity rate of each country, an interesting trend emerges. There is a clear difference in fatality rate between countries with low obesity rates and those with high rates. If the true nature of Factor X in Japan is its "low obesity rate," we may soon have to reconsider our current common sense.

1. Until now, people have stayed home for fear of infection, but this may actually be counterproductive, leading to weight gain and increasing the risk of developing severe symptoms.
2. Japanese people, who have a low obesity rate, are not at high risk, and in fact have a low rate of severe illness and a low rate of fatality, so there are concerns that continuing to designate the disease as an infectious disease will have a negative impact.
3. The significance of expanding PCR testing for low-risk diseases will diminish, and the only negative aspect that will remain is the strain on medical institutions.
4. Medical institutions will be freed from the imbalance of medical collapse and operating at a loss, and will be able to focus on the patients they are meant to help.
5. Developed countries all have high obesity rates, so Japan's low obesity rate could be an advantage in driving the economy.
6. With Japan's working population set to continue shrinking, this may be its last chance to take the lead in global GDP.

*The Japan Obesity Prevention Association, a general incorporated association, also states that "obese people need to prevent infection." However, this is merely one factor among other factors (such as the toxicity of the mutated virus strain in each country, the medical system, and sanitary environment). The graph is an original creation by the author based on data sources from each country (data as of the end of August 2020). As I am not a medical professional, I cannot take any responsibility for any impact arising from this information.
