pretty much. Not all immune systems are equal these days.

Death rates were 10x higher in countries where more than 50% of the population is overweight
The U.K. has the third-highest death rate in the world (184 deaths per 100,000 population) and the fourth-highest obesity rate with 63.7% of adults classifying as overweight, closely followed by the U.S., which has 152.49 deaths per 100,000 and 67.9% of the population living with obesity.
Vietnam, on the other hand, has the lowest Covid-19 death rate in the world (0.04 deaths per 100,000), and also reports the second-lowest rate of obesity (18.3% of adults).
The report highlights that there is “not a single example internationally” of a country with low levels of obesity—classified as less than 40% of the population overweight—and high death rates.
It's almost like you might be able to conclude if you aren't a fat bastard, or have severe underlying health issues, covid might be a non event for you.
