Calif - a tale of two parts - lex24 - 07-09-2020

Northern Calif is not exactly rosy.  There are issues. But the real problem is SoCal.  Just look at the numbers. It’s a big split.  Not sure how LA gets this under control. Such high density.

Yep, some of them seem really dense.  (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
And, for that matter, obesity (BMI >= 30) is a risk factor for poor outcome.

Actually, the hottest spots (percentage wise) are counties that aren't densely populated.   I think they felt they could go about life normally, but then it snuck in and bit them hard.

Los Angeles has been very hot for quite a while in percent.  Of course their absolute numbers outweigh everyone else.

I was signing up for a COVID test online, and their metrics seemed to point to a BMI >= 40, which is 294 pounds for a 6' tall man, according to the NIH tables.  A BMI of 30 indicates 221 pounds for a 6' tall man, according to the same NIH table:

Obviously a BMI of 40 will have greater fatality statistics than a BMI of 30.  But are there any fatality metrics by BMI available?
