#1 And imagine they already have problems breathing because they are obese. I also wonder how many of these are also smokers.

#3 ^Gromgoru rises a hand. And I also have hypertension, and other things. On the other hand, in Israel, the virus mostly seems to get religious people - so, I figure, I'm reasonably safe.

#10 I thought I was short of breath with exertion, got a pulmonary function test. Everything was just fine, but the technician patted his tummy, whist looking at mine, and said, "Sometimes this restricts the free movement of the diaphragm."

So, being tubby means your deep breaths can't be so deep, because the fat gets in the way.

#13 I think there are also alot of ppl in New Yprok , New Jersey who have breathing problems from breathing in the smoke after 9/11. Anyone else think that may be a contributing factor of so many deaths there?
