I think we should be more positive about such research (it helps us to further our understanding of COVID-19), there are many other studies that show bad outcomes for those who are obese and this paper suggests a mechanism for the poor outcomes.

That paper shows nearly 3x the hazard ratio for ICU admission and death for the most obese people which is terrifying!
