How to reduce the fatality rate?

In an article published on August 26, we introduced obesity rates as the only data point proportional to each country's fatality rate. In December, we conducted a follow-up survey and found that although the fatality rate was rising in each country due to the spread of infection, the correlation between the two had not collapsed but rather become even clearer.

The grey area of ​​the bar graph shows the number of deaths per million as of the end of August, and the orange area shows the increase in the number of deaths over the following three months. What is interesting is the fact that Sweden, which has never imposed a lockdown, has kept the increase the lowest.

This calls into question the effectiveness of the lockdown itself, but we cannot deny the possibility that Sweden's fatality rate would have been even lower if it had imposed a lockdown, or that the fatality rate would have risen even more if the UK had done nothing. There is no fact that the lockdown had no effect, so we can only do our best.

On the other hand, one clear effect of lockdowns is that they increase self-restraint weight gain. And since obesity is one of the dominant factors that increase the risk of serious illness, it seems best to get people moving as soon as possible, not just economically.

*The Japan Obesity Prevention Association (JADA) also states that "obese people need to take precautions against 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 from early December 2020). As I am not a medical professional, I cannot take any responsibility for any consequences arising from this information.
