It's been my experience too that mainly overweight/unhealthy people are calling for all the strict measures and mass vaccinations. Whenever I've mentioned that losing weight for better health and covid outcome needs pushing to the masses, they'll usually say now isn't the time as we need to deal with the covid pandemic first.
Also the Russian vaccine is finally getting some credit. They are trialling it in combination with the Oxford vaccine now

That reminds me of the story I mentioned earlier of when I was in the park in September with my 3-year-old daughter and her mommy.
I basically said "Yada Yada Yada - I don't think spending a billion dollars a day [in Canada alone] on a virus that kills people who are older than the average human lifespan is a good use of that money. I don't need the government to lecture me in order to take care of my health, and don't feel the need to wear a mask or stand six feet away from someone who is going to give me the virus if he/she has it, even if I do "social distance" from them."
She responded with the most serious/stern look on her face [she was basically scolding me], then proceeded to tell me that the government measures were necessary.
This woman was around 5'6" and was 220-lb, if not more [I'd guess 220...but she could have possibly be 230]. Her face was also covered in what I can only surmise to be facial shingles/zosters. They weren't pimples. I don't know if facial shingles are the result of poor diet or an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle, but if it's not - she must have the worst luck in the world.
My point is - do I REALLY need a woman who is 100-lb overweight and whose face is a mess of herpes scolding me as if I am posing a risk to public health when I eat well, exercise regularly, and I maintain a healthy body weight, healthy/low blood pressure, and all of my other markers of health are in the optimal/athlete range? In fact, I have been in a state of natural ketosis my entire life, simply because my carbs/calories are so low. I'm just barely in ketosis, granted, but I am - literally 24/7/365, likely going back decades now - always in a state of natural ketosis, because I naturally eat so little, and eat so few carbs.
Admittedly, I have been working out less lately - first, because the Ministry of Health is CONSTANTLY threatening gyms with lockdowns, and I'm worried if I commit to a plan that I will end up having to cancel it anyway if the gym gets shut down again this winter. Also, the pool/sauna, and hot tub are closed, and they keep flip flopping on stuff like that. It's really annoying to pay full price for a membership, only for half the services I pay for to get cancelled.
Not to mention, with all the insane "Social Fitnessing" garbage, and being scolded by paranoid morons for not sanitizing weight benches after literally just sitting on them - yes, SITTING ON THEM...not sweating on them, not working out on them, but literally just SITTING ON THEM between sets - is really turning me off from going to the gym. But my diet is on point, and I'm in good overall health, sitting at 195-lb now, which is 20-lb heavier than I would like to be, but nothing I can't shed within a month of going to the gym consistently.
"Social Fitnessing"...LMAO!!! I wonder how the various gym owners will feel submitting to the government's ridiculous rules once they just get shut down anyway, with their property bought up for pennies on the dollar by major corporations.
Being surrounded by paranoid people is just depressing, so I've been focusing on eating a perfect diet, getting adequate rest, brushing and flossing as diligently as possible, taking my blood pressure from a blood pressure machine/cuff that I have at home, and doing anything else I can do at home, until this insanity ends. IF this insanity ends. If not...I guess I'll start going back to the gym daily starting 2021-01-01 when gym memberships go on sale for all the New Year's Resolutioners who end up quitting by Valentine's Day.
Sad times.
Oh...and I REALLY don't want to hear another word from my fat premier about how bad I am for planning to spend Christmas with my family. For cripes' sake, lose 100-lb for dictating to your constituents ANYTHING about health!
