Is there a competition out there about who can write the stupidest article?
People who walk slowly may be almost four times more likely to die from coronavirus, and be potentially more than twice at risk of contracting severe Covid-19, researchers say.
Those who walk slowly and are a normal weight could be almost 2.5 times more likely to develop severe Covid-19 and 3.75 times more likely to die from the virus than normal-weight fast walkers, according to a new study.
Slow walking was considered to be at a speed of less than three miles per hour, steady/average speed was three to four miles per hour, or brisk at more than four miles per hour.
The study of 412,596 middle-aged UK Biobank participants examined the relative association of body mass index (BMI) and self-reported walking pace with the risk of contracting severe Covid-19 and mortality.
Tom Yates, lead researcher for the study and a professor of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and health at the University of Leicester said: “We know already that obesity and frailty are key risk factors for Covid-19 outcomes.
“This is the first study to show that slow walkers have a much higher risk of contracting severe Covid-19 outcomes, irrespective of their weight.
“With the pandemic continuing to put unprecedented strain on healthcare services and communities, identifying individuals at greatest risk and taking preventative measures to protect them is crucial.”
So if your walking style is too slow, you can get arrested and put to quarantine. Devious. Also, to add to the list who can make an appointment: if you are a slow walker.
I have never heard that they say (the media in good old Germany) the Astra is bad because it's british. Then again, I'm not really watching a lot of news, maybe they did but I'm not aware of it. I know you guys probably don't care but I love british people and the awesome accents that are spoken and basicially everything about the island and the awesome cool people and countries and culture and everything ? I'm not kidding. No stupid news story or distorted history can diminish my love for you!
My Mom (works at hospital) got the first shot and had NO zero nada side effects except arm pain (which you get from any needle that gets into your muscles). She said if they didn't keep the Astra for the second injection, she won't take it. She only took it because it was not the mRna kind.
