SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — New studies are showing that one of the most important risk factors for COVID-19 is weight, including for children.People who are obese are more than twice as likely to wind up in the hospital with COVID-19 as those with normal weight, and 48 percent more likely to die from it, according to a study last month that looked at hundreds of thousands of patients.“Some people have made the argument that the deaths from COVID are just in people with preexisting conditions. Well, this is a preexisting condition that affects a third of the U.S. population in the obese range and another third in the overweight range,” said Dr. Christian Ramers of Family Health Centers of San Diego. “So it’s extremely common.”More than 71 percent of adults are either overweight or obese, according to the CDC. Adults are considered overweight if their body mass index is 25 or higher, and obese if their BMI is 30 or higher.The U.S. has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, and some experts have theorized it’s one of the reasons why the virus has hit our country harder than others.The risk extends to children as well, who are generally spared from severe cases of COVID-19. Among children hospitalized with the disease, 38 percent had obesity, by far the largest risk factor, according to a CDC study.But what is it about fat that makes the virus worse?There are several theories. People who are obese have blood that clots more easily, one of the main ways COVID-19 kills. Fat cells secrete tiny proteins that cause inflammation, another huge problem with COVID patients that can spiral out of control in what’s called a cytokine storm.Overall, obese people have weaker immune systems.“The theory is that the fat is taking over in certain parts of your body that normally are producing white blood cells,” said Dr. Marsha Blount of Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Center.Extra fat on the abdomen makes it harder to get air into the lungs, exacerbating conditions like pneumonia. And the extra weight makes it harder to use a ventilator, said Dr. Ramers.On top of all that, people with obesity frequently have other underlying conditions.“Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, fatty liver -- these things are all associated with each other,” Dr. Ramers said. “What we’ve seen is that each of them is related to a poor outcome with COVID.”Studies have shown that simply being overweight increases the risk of COVID-19. A study of nearly 17,000 hospitalized patients in the U.S. found that 29 percent were overweight and another 48 percent were obese.The encouraging news, according to Dr. Blount, is that losing just 5 percent of your weight can have significant benefits. Dr. Blount teaches other physicians how to talk about weight loss with a technique called motivational interviewing.“That 5 percent has been proven time and time again to decrease the risk of getting diabetes. It decreases breast cancer risk for females. It lowers triglycerides and improves HDL, which are different lipid numbers and that thereby decreases your risk of stroke and heart attack,” she said.It can also reduce blood pressure, another major risk factor for COVID, suggesting a little weight loss can go a long way. 3215

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — President Donald Trump spoke Tuesday about the U.S.-Mexico border as his battle with Democratic lawmakers over border wall funding sends a government shutdown into nearly three weeks.President Trump is scheduled to meet with those working at the border in what the White House has called a "crisis" at the southern border.As Democratic lawmakers continue to flatly reject any funding for the President's border wall, Trump says he has considered declaring an "immigration emergency" in order to lock in funding.WATCH: President Trump's prime-time address hereTODAY'S BORDER BARRIERAbout 653 miles of the 2,000 miles across the U.S.-Mexico border has fencing or barrier, according to the Advocacy for Human Rights in the Americas.U.S. Customs and Border Protection has already set aside about .4 billion to fund construction of new and replacement barriers along the border, Newsy reports. These projects are scheduled for the San Diego, Tucson, El Paso, and Yuma border areas.RELATED: Six takeaways: President Trump talks shutdown, the wall, San Diego borderThat money is expected to go toward upgrades in fencing and levee barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, where the Rio Grande forms a natural barrier between the two countries.Construction already approved by Congress prior to President Trump has already begun on outdated portions of the border barrier.Nearly two and a half miles of metal scrap and landing mat used as a barrier was upgraded to 30-foot high, steel bollard fencing in Calexico in March of last year. This year, construction on secondary wall and primary pedestrian replacement wall is scheduled for San Diego's border.RELATED: TIMELINE: The battle over border wall funding and the government shutdownIt's not clear whether the President's border wall prototypes in Otay Mesa will be implemented, as Congress has yet to approve any funding for the project. Many of those prototypes included concrete. The White House now says they are favoring steel as barrier material.BORDER SECURITY TODAYBorder Patrol San Diego Sector Chief Rodney Scott took 10News anchor Steve Atkinson on a tour of a portion of the region's border last week, showing what works and doesn't work for agents.Scott pointed to newly constructed steel bollard border barrier that will eventually be 14 miles long and 18 high on average, even taller in other areas. The upgrades are significant, Scott said, considering the ease individuals had in cutting through older fencing.RELATED: San Diego lawmakers respond to Trump's border wall comments"On average there's 3 and a half breaches in this per day," said Scott, indicating patches in the fence that have been previously sawed through. "To jump the legacy landing mat fence, run up and start a cut in this fence big enough that you can actually get people through, is less than 2 minutes total time."Scott says the improvements are even more vital, following the attack on Border Patrol agents on New Year's Day, where people were throwing rocks at agents from over the border."On January 1 the people throwing rocks were up on top of that berm," said Scott, confirming one of his agents was hit in the face with a rock. “But he had a riot helmet and shield on, so he wasn't seriously injured."RELATED: Trump says he may build wall without Congressional approvalScott said his agents had to use tear gas after rocks were thrown from Mexico and claimed assaults on his agents are up 300 percent this fiscal year.The White House has said nearly 4,000 "known or suspected terrorists" were caught trying to enter the US to justify their argument for a border wall. However, according to CBP data, only 12 of those individuals were encountered at the southern border from October 2017 to October 2018, according to CNN.Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said earlier this month CBP has stopped over 3,000 "special interest aliens trying to come into the country on the southern border."However, there's no uniform definition of the term "special interest alien." Former Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly defined "special interest" as being "from parts of the world where terrorism is prevalent, or nations that are hostile to the United States," CNN reported. 4240

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - On Monday, San Diego County supervisors met privately to discuss options if the county is moved back into the most restrictive tier.Although the meeting is taking place behind closed doors, it's not stopping them from sharing their frustrations publicly.At a press conference on Monday morning, Supervisor Nathan Fletcher called the actions of two of his fellow board members reckless and irresponsible."Supervisors Jim Desmond and Kristin Gaspar are inciting a fight between government and small business," Fletcher stated. “They are exploiting the pain and suffering the small businesses are going through as a result of the global pandemic as a wedge for political gain."Responding to the statements made at the press conference, Supervisor Kristin Gaspar said that she's never supported an approach to reopening that was not supported by the Public Health Officer and clinical leadership team.In a statement, Gaspar wrote, "Supervisor Fletcher knows this but prefers to continue spreading this false narrative because he is actively running a campaign against me. I measured the distance between our office doors, and it is 7 feet, so he and I can actually have a socially distanced conversation anytime he isn't holding a press conference."The public display of animosity comes as supervisors continue to discuss different options, including taking legal action against the state, to prevent potentially sliding back into the most restrictive risk level.Fletcher is against any potential legal action; Gaspar is for it.A spokesperson from Supervisor Jim Desmond's office said Desmond is weighing the options and waiting to hear any potential ramifications.On Monday, Supervisor Dianne Jacob told 10News, "I will do what is legally possible and where we are on solid legal ground. We do have a good solid legal option here."Jacob said the colleges and universities have a choice whether to allow students back on campus and hold in-person classes. She explained businesses have no choice, and she will fight to keep them open.A spokesperson for Supervisor Greg Cox told ABC 10News they wouldn't comment before the closed-door meeting.Legal actions by citizens and government entities against the state aren't uncommon.ABC 10News has reported on businesses and churches suing Gov. Gavin Newsom.At the end of July, the Orange County Board of Education voted to file a lawsuit against Gov. Newsom and the California Public Health Officer to seek a court order that sets aside the state orders preventing public schools from holding in-person classes and resuming services on campus."There's precedent from before the pandemic and during the pandemic for the county and other local governments to file suit against the state government to try to get the courts to weigh in on who holds the reins," said Lindsay Wiley, Professor of Law at American University Washington College of Law.Wiley said if the county did file a lawsuit, it's likely the courts would defer to the governor based on recent rulings."These cases are unpredictable and there's a fair bit of discretion left to the courts to decide these issues," Wiley said. "It's hard to say much given that we haven't seen what the complaint is that the county might bring but for the most part the general trend has been to uphold reasonable orders of this type." 3346

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - New numbers show just how quickly housing has become unaffordable in San Diego county.Housing received a thumbs-down because the Housing Affordability Index for San Diego County decreased from 26% in December 2017 to 24% in December 2018. In 2012, more than 45% of county residents could buy a median-priced home.The report on housing affordability was part of the annual Quality of Life Dashboard released by the Equinox Project, The Nonprofit Institute at University of San Diego. "The change is steep and following the state trends," said Christiana DeBenedict of The Nonprofit Institute.RELATED: San Diego among top hot housing markets for 2019, Zillow reportsAccording to the report, 38% of local homeowners devote more than a third of their income to their mortgage. The renters' situation isn't much better. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in San Diego County, 57% of people pay more than 30% of their income on rent. San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties have the highest proportion of people paying over 30% of their income on rent.DeBenedict says add it all up, and it hurts locals employers trying attract and keep talent. The economy is also hurt.RELATED: Making It In San Diego: Strangers team up to afford the rent"People don't have as much disposable income. That money isn't being put back into the economy," said DeBenedict.According to the Equinox Project, the affordability crisis translates into an estimated .4 billion economic loss for the region every year.DeBenedict says with no sudden housing turnaround expected, expect policies to continue favoring more affordable housing projects and options like granny flats. 1679
