[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article said she was healthy but she is obese.. [/quote]

The responses in this thread make me fear for our humanity. What is wrong with you that this is your response to someone’s death?[/quote]

Because it’s a documented risk factor for more severe Covid illness

I have noticed a trend tbh that many of the teachers who have died have been obese 😔[/quote]

Seriously, you are a terrible person. Please think about why you seem to find obese people disposable.[/quote]

Someone acknowledging known risk factors for COVID is not them saying obese people are dispensable.

Why are you so triggered by that?[/quote]

Because lots of people i care about have risk factors for COVID 19 and if someone’s response to my mother dying is, “she was over 75”, I promise you, I will never be able to look at them with out disgust. How are you not triggered by a dismissive attitude to a tragic death because they had a risk factor?  [/quote]

You are kidding yourself if you don't think that lots of people would think that.  Of course, someone wouldn't likely say that to you and, if they did, it would be reasonable for you to be somewhat taken aback.  But, can't you recognize the difference in etiquette in terms of what is reasonable in person and what is reasonable on anonymous board talking about a person none of us know.

And no, I am not saying that because it is anonymous we can be boorish things we wouldn't dare say in person.  I am saying that, in these two very different contexts, what is actually acceptable is different -- not that you can just get away with it online.  In this context, a discussion of known risk factors seems ok to me. [/quote]
