  The research may help explain why people who are overweight and obese have been at higher risk of severe illness and death from Covid.

  A man whose ideal weight is 170 pounds but who weighs 250 pounds is carrying a substantial amount of fat in which the virus may “hang out,” replicate and trigger a destructive immune system response, said Dr. David Kass, a professor of cardiology at Johns Hopkins.
  “If you really are very obese, fat is the biggest single organ in your body,” Dr. Kass said.
  “We keep documenting the risk they have, but we still aren’t addressing it,” Dr. Popkin said.
