From a N.Y. Times article about Coronavirus attacking fat cells:
“If you really are very obese, fat is the biggest single organ in your body,” Dr. Kass said.
The coronavirus “can infect that tissue and actually reside there,” he said. “Whether it hurts it, kills it or at best, it’s a place to amplify itself — it doesn’t matter. It becomes kind of a reservoir.”
This is of special note for Alabama residents because this is one of the fattest states in the nation (ranked #3) .
