Oof. Yeah. That is high. I wonder if it was from sad/bored/stress eating, or drinking, or from
Gyms closing. Most outdoor activists still were doable. And most people who had gym memberships could have gotten a cheap stationary bike. But I will admit that that sucks and the year has been rough and that’s a bigger gain than I would have thought.

Not denying weight gain didn't happen. But come with facts. Much appreciated.

How did all of us do? With us being in a unique situation our work schedules mostly remaining normal compared to most other professions, but no hotel gyms but also less going out on overnights? I’ve lost muscle but stayed pretty constant. But we also bought a stationary bike.

I'm sure there was some weight gain. But this quoted poll was unscientific and based on user-responses.

Anyone who's likely to respond to an internet based poll about weight gain is going to strapped to their PC, stuffing their faces, and arguing endlessly on internet forums..

Oh.

I love when people toss around other long-standing causes of death as a comparison.

COVID has been on the scene for 14 months. And it's the #3 killer behind cancer and heart disease. McDonald's? 70 years. Takeaway? COVID is much more aggressive killer than any Big Mac.

But I do appreciate your valiant effort to troll.
I see how you are now. You don’t care. Well I do. 650000 deaths. If that don’t grab you by the throat then nothing will.

The closures did put a kibosh on my gym routine to a noticeable amount...and some places you go to run outside, and the Karens would yell at you for not wearing a mask.....or better yet some places the violence and palpable scuziness of the folks on the street meant getting some exercise wasn't worth risking your life.
