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) - More than 830 pounds of narcotics, over .5 million and 20 fugitives were captured over the weekend in San Diego and Imperial Valley counties.Border officials said the seizures occurred from Friday, March 9 to Sunday, March 11. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted 465 pounds of methamphetamine, 85 pounds of cocaine, 45 pounds of heroin, and 240 pounds of marijuana.The drugs were hidden within various places inside vehicles, including door panels, floors, and gas tanks.RELATED: US border officer falsely claimed to be US citizen, authorities claimDuring that same period of time, officials arrested 20 people for various charges including sex assault, embezzlement, burglary, shoplifting, and probation violation."Narcotics smugglers try to conceal their illegal items in many voids naturally found in vehicles," Pete Flores, director of field operations for CBP in San Diego, said. "CBP officers are well trained to search and find irregularities that might be used to elude detection." 1058

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — President Trump has repeatedly called on his supporters to volunteer as poll watchers for the upcoming election, including during last month’s presidential debate. But what exactly can a poll watcher do?Rules vary by state but in California, election observers can monitor what goes on at polling places or at the Registrar of Voters Office, where the ballots are processed and counted.“In California, we have probably the most transparent rules of any state,” said Pam Smith, a special adviser to the Verified Voting Foundation. “It's very clearly spelled out that you can watch any aspect of the election process -- pre-election, during election, post-election processes -- as long as you don't make a nuisance of yourself.”Election observers have been part of U.S. elections since the 1700s when ballots were counted publicly.Anyone can be an election observer in California, but they are often partisan volunteers supplied by campaigns or political parties.“The fact that you have two opposing sides engaging in this poll watching activity keeps each side honest,” said legal analyst Dan Eaton.Eaton said the basic idea is to promote transparency and public trust. Campaigns and parties also have practical reasons for sending volunteers to the monitor polls: they’re allowed to access the voter roster posted at each polling place, which they use for last-minute get-out-the-vote efforts.At the Registrar of Voters Office, election observers are allowed to raise challenges to the eligibility of individual mail-in ballots as the counting takes place. Common challenges include questions about the veracity of a voter’s signature or whether an oval is properly filled in, said political analyst John Dadian.“There’s a dozen different things you look for,” he said.In tight races, these observers, sometimes called challengers, can have an impact. Dadian cites the San Diego mayor’s race in 2004 as an example.“One candidate, Donna Frye, got several thousand more votes than her opponent, but several thousand votes were discounted and she did not become mayor. There’s an example of where it absolutely made a difference. It changed the whole direction of the city,” he said.The Secretary of State’s Office has a 30-page guide for interested observers. San Diego County has an abbreviated guide.Observers can take notes and record video of election workers, for example, but they cannot touch any voting materials or equipment.They can ask questions of poll workers but they cannot communicate with voters.“People can't show up and kind of block the path or taunt or jeer or give voters any hassle when they're trying to engage in their civic duties,” Smith said.There are also laws governing what election observers can wear: nothing with political messaging, which is considered an illegal form of electioneering. Observers are also prohibited from wearing clothing that resembles a peace officer or security guard, a tactic that was used to suppress Latino voters in Orange County in 1988.Violators can be charged with a felony.There will be additional restrictions on observers this election cycle because of the pandemic. The San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office is requiring observers to wear an appropriate face covering, answer a health questionnaire and stay in designated areas.“I think the operative term here is that they have the right to observe. They don’t have the right to interfere and intimidate voters as the polling location is a sanctuary for voters to cast their respective ballot,” said San Diego County Registrar Michael Vu.The Republican National Committee's effort to recruit thousands of poll watchers, which they're calling an "Army for Trump," has caught the attention of California election officials. Last week, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla sent a memo to county official administrators, advising them to brace for potential cases of voter intimidation.“County elections officials should be prepared to handle incidents involving disruptionand/or voter intimidation at the office of the elections official and/or polling locations,” the memo said. “Most incidents can be effectively diffused and deescalated with a calm demeanor andapproach that advises persons that they are engaged in prohibited activity that violatesstate law.”The memo encourages election officials to report troublesome cases to the state. Voters who feel they’ve been intimidated or had their rights violated can file a report to the state’s hotline at 800-345-VOTE. 4525

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — President Donald Trump told reporters Saturday the United States may close its border crossings to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.Speaking from the White House, the President said his administration was "thinking about" possibly closing the country's borders to guard against the spread of COVID-19."We have ports of entry that we are keeping open. And we're not talking about it, we're thinking about all borders," President Trump said Saturday, when asked of the country's border with Mexico. "But right now that's not a border as it pertains to what we're talking about here. This is not a border that seems to be much of a problem right now. We hope we won't have to do that."The President said the U.S. is banning travel to Iran in response to the outbreak in that country, and elevating travel warnings to regions of Italy and South Korea, adding that more U.S. cases are “likely.” So far there are about 60 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S.RELATED:Coronavirus: Everything you need to knowUC San Diego, SDSU cancel South Korea study abroad programs due to coronavirusSan Diego County now able to test for coronavirusSan Diego-based Olympic hopefuls undeterred by coronavirus threatSome Americans refusing to buy or drink Corona beer amid coronavirus outbreak, according to surveyCanada is currently dealing with 16 coronavirus cases: eight in Ontario, seven in British Columbia, and one in Quebec. As of Saturday, Canada says the country has tested for 498 possible cases. Canadian officials, like the U.S., say the risk to the country's residents is low. Mexico currently has four cases of the virus, as of Saturday. Two patients in Mexico are located in Mexico City and one in the northwestern state of Sinaloa. The fourth patient was reported in the city of Torreon in the state of Coahuila: a 20-year-old woman who had recently traveled to Italy.This week, Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the COVID-19 virus "isn’t even equivalent to flu," adding, "“I repeat, according to the available information, it is not something terrible, fatal ... There shouldn’t be any yellow journalism, or exaggerations, to cause a mass psychosis of fear, of terror," the AP reported.Saturday, the U.S. reported the first death in the country due to the virus in Washington state. State health officials described the victim as a man in his 50s who had underlying medical conditions.The Associated Press contributed to this report. 2484

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- New numbers show San Diego housing costs are taking up more than a third of people’s income. 57 percent of renters spend more than a third on housing and so do 40 percent of homeowners. That's the result of the annual Equinox Project released Thursday by the Center for Sustainable Energy in San Diego.Mikaella Bolling, the project’s manager says it boils down to supply and demand.“A lot of people say well we don't want development in my neighborhood or we don't want infill development in our neighborhood, but this is actually the solution that's going to allow us to have more affordable units,” she said.She points to the need for more partnerships to bridge the gaps and educate the public.   “We need to have a better conversation between our residents, between our policymakers, and between our developers,” she said.The cost of a median single-family home in the county jumped 6.5 percent from 2016 to 2017. It’s now upwards of 5,000.“We're seeing that increase every year.  Great for homeowners...but not great for buyers,” Bolling added. Krysta Cordill is a certified financial planner with D’Arcy Capital in Carmel Valley.“There's really no magic to it,” she said. “You have to make saving for a home a priority.” Cordill is a past president of the San Diego Financial Planners Association and has seen more clients worry about whether they can afford the high cost of living. “If you have a Roth Ira or traditional IRA, they allow you to take ,000 of that penalty-free for first-time home-buyers," Cordill said.  She says people should consider starting in a condo or townhouse. “Just know that that's part of the process of home ownership,” Cordill said. As for saving, she offered up some simple tricks. “I've never talked to anyone who cannot pair down their expenses,” she said. First, she suggests cutting out easy online spending.  Instead, say to yourself, ‘If I really need it, I'm going to go to the store.’”Cordill also suggests that you make your morning cup of coffee at home. And - despite San Diego’s tempting restaurant scene - limit dining out to once or twice a week. To check out the entire Quality of Life Dashboard report, click here. 2282
