Serious question, based on your experience how common is prediabetes/type 2 diabetes in relatively young frum people?

Define "relatively young".

I (obviously) was asking this question through the Covid-19 lens, so I was thinking under 50.

Our community has a massive problem with weight. What percentage of your next minyan looks like a healthy weight?
High BMI is often a cause of prediabetes/ type 2 diabetes.

So let's forget the government narratives and start our own right here. Widespread mask usage slows the spread and saves lives. Even if you are low-risk for reinfection, wearing a mask makes it more likely that everyone (or more people) will comply. That's the DDF narrative. Spread the word.
Sounds pretty Don Quixotic to me. Let's all go tilting at windmills.

I'm not so sure about it. From my non-scientific observations it is mostly genetic. It runs in certain families, and isn't always tied to obesity. I have a good friend (classmate of mine) who is type 2. You would have never guessed it based on his build or level of physical activity (he's no couch potato).

You're right. We should encourage our friends to fight the big, bad government narrative by davka not wearing masks in 770 instead of trying to do anything productive at all.

This model predicted 40k ventilators would be needed in NY and 140k hospital beds would be needed. That was laughable and probably led to the nursing home crisis which caused around 10k deaths.

Do you mean the model that the WH was basing its policy on?

It’s starting to look like a bad model. 200k deaths seems too low.

Cuomo: The federal government should be issuing guidance on how to respond to the pandemic

Also Cuomo: Don't tell us how and when to open schools, it's the state's decision.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

That was just a bunch of fearmongering. You really think we will have 100-200k deaths, get real.
Oops we are over 130k. I guess it wasn't fearmongering.
