500k infected in the US. Likely will move into first for deaths tomorrow as well.
North America (us in Canada too) are going to be fucked for the long haul.
wish it was only 500k.
Not to alarm anyone but the Convid-19 deaths in NZ doubled yesterday, and doubled today.

Texas to Ease Coronavirus Lockdown Under Executive Order, Governor Says

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Gobbo eats a lot AND has a predisposition to obesity.
Obesity is partially genetics and partially behavior. You're telling me that you haven't known people on the opposite end, who can pig out constantly, not exercise, and stay thin?
I know several like this, and they're not young, so you can't blame it on that.
For some reason you are blind to genetic predispositions and believe everything is behavior-related, which is odd.
You're just two hot dogs on a stick extra per day, from looking like gobbo.
Of course genetics and metabolism plays a part, but the majority of people that look like gobbo have the local pizza place on speed dial.
Virtually everyone can look like gobbo if they sit on their ass, drinking Pepsi and eat calorie dense rubbish.
Not true. I absolutely could not get that big, even if I tried to eat as badly as possible.
Your body actually tries to maintain its existing weight. This is part of the reason why it's so hard to maintain lost weight (the other being that people tend to let their guard down once they reach a desired weight). Your body will attempt to bring itself back to where it was. This is also why weight gain tends to be a slow move upwards, rather than rocketing up, unless you have genetic/health issues which make it do otherwise, or unless your body is attempting to recover lost weight.
Let's say for some stupid reason I wanted to try to get to 300 pounds by December 31, by means of eating only (meaning not using weight gain products or whatever). I wouldn't be able to do it. My body wouldn't cooperate.
Many of those genetically predisposed to being obese will also tend to eat more as it happens. It's a vicious cycle. I'm not saying that gobboboy eats a salad for dinner and washes it down with a glass of water, yet still looks the way he does. However, if I were born with gobbo's genes, my body would probably look a lot like his, and if he were born with my genes, his would look a lot like mine. Genetics plays a far bigger roll than you think.
If you did not change your eating habits and exercise at all.
And ate two hot dogs on a stick extra every day. You would easily put on about 50 pounds in a year. I chose a dog on a stick as you're already good at squeezing them in.
Hot dog on a stick 300-400 calories, lets say 350 to be fair.
350x2x365=255,000 extra calories.
One pound of fat equals approximately 3,500 calories, so 255,000 calories would equal 73 pounds of fat.
Of course you then must also consider the fatter you are the more calories you burn.
Druff, I know you absolutely hate being wrong... but you're talking utter shit.
You could weigh 300 pounds by the end of the year relatively easily!
druff, you can easily get to 300 or more pounds in a year if you wanted to. if you ate 5000 calories a day, which isn't *that* difficult, what do you think your body would do with those extra calories?
just pass them through without absorbing them? would you go into super-metabolism mode? is there science behind whatever you think would happen?
he's been running bad on the wrongness lately

and i know its not a word but it sounds good
Eating 5000 extra calories a day (on top of what I already eat) isn't trivial. That's a ton of extra calories, and I couldn't eat that much.
Salty_aus thinks that I'd gain 50 pounds by eating two hot dogs on a stick extra every day. He either has a horrible metabolism or doesn't understand how much the average adult would have to do in order to gain 50 pounds in 8.5 months.
The infamous Hot Dog on a Stick story actually involved me eating a ton of extra food over a 7-month period. I was basically eating two full dinners each time. I gained 16 pounds in that 7-month stretch -- the most I had ever gained in a 7-month period. I barely exercised and just ate a ton of food without attempting to moderate. I eat a good deal less now. If I were two add two breaded hot dogs on top of what I eat now, I would still be taking in fewer calories per day than I did in the first half of 2018.
Again, too much "behavior causes everything" talk, and not enough credit to genetics. I don't deny that eating like a pig will make you gain weight, but there's a difference between being overweight, very overweight, and gobboboy obese. The gobbo level would be very difficult for the average person to ever reach, even if they tried.
Again, if genetics don't play a huge role, how do you explain the people who can eat whatever they want and never get fat? So there's the other side of that coin, too. Gobboboy is the polar opposite of the "I can't gain weight no matter what I do" people. Most of the rest of us are somewhere in the middle.
By the way, the "behavior is more important than genetics" school of thought also kills people.
I know people with high BP who won't take BP medication because they "don't need it" and "will just stay calmer and cut down on salt."
I know people with high cholesterol who have told me they won't take a statin, and instead will just "stop eating red meat" or "go mostly vegetarian".
They refuse to admit there's a genetic component beyond their control.
These are both conditions which are VERY long-term unhealthy if untreated. Too many people have been talked into believing that good behavior = good results, and you don't need no stinkin' mediation to do the job.
The genetics knife cuts both ways. You can have shit genetics which punish you despite good behavior, you could have great genetics which rescue you despite bad behavior, and you can have neither. And by "genetics", I mean individually with each particular issue. For example, I'll probably never have to take cholesterol meds for as long as I live (or at least not until I'm much older), yet I was predestined to be on BP meds by my early 40s.
