Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

Obesity, prevalent in the US population (around 40%), is often associated with insulin resistance, potentially increasing susceptibility to viruses like coronavirus.

Partially SupportedPeople with diabetes have impaired immune systems, including decreased chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and killing functions in neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages.

Partially SupportedInsulin resistance impairs immune cell function by making cells less responsive to insulin signaling.
