Abstract
The emerging pandemic SARS-CoV-2 drew worldwide attention in the first months of 2020. Most people who are infected have mild illness or are asymptomatic, but many have serious and often fatal illnesses. Advanced age quickly emerged as the most important risk factor for unfavorable outcomes, but obesity was one of several other factors quickly identified as associated with COVID-19-associated mortality.
