Episode description

This episode discusses three MMWR COVID-19 reports. The first one presents the link between elevated body mass index and the risk for severe COVID-19 illness, especially for people younger than 65. Another report describes how the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. The last report shows how the number of fatal opioid overdoses in an Illinois county increased during a stay-at-home order.
