About 78% of people who have been hospitalized, needed a ventilator or died from Covid-19 have been overweight or obese, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new study Monday.
Just over 42% of the U.S. population was considered obese in 2018, according to the agency’s most recent statistics. Overweight is defined as having a body mass index of 25 or more, while obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30 or more.
“As clinicians develop care plans for COVID-19 patients, they should consider the risk for severe outcomes in patients with higher BMIs, especially for those with severe obesity,” the CDC wrote.

BMI can be deceiving.
Ronnie Coleman in competition was 300 pounds & pure muscle.
That would equate to a high BMI.

On the inverse, I see women who are 150 pounds who actually are A bit flabby.

this is about actual fat people.

The CDC is going by BMI.
Rather than body fat though.

Thus this would be classed as overweight by BMI below.
