So there's indications that diabetics and the obese are at most risk of severe covid-19 illness (and hence death). That's still a big problem in the US as 36.5% of Americans are obese, and a further 32.5% are overweight. Apparently obesity is linked to over 60 chronic diseases including diabetes so there seems to be some logic to this. In Australia 28% are obese and 29% overweight so it's an issue here as well. Good signals re the drugs

Seems like good signals re: the drugs.

Hopefully their will be lots more results out of the U.S over the next week.

Lots of testing/ trials over there and i think Australia is starting trials with these drugs as well.
