WaPo reports on 'new study' finding that exercise can reduce risk of hospitalization or death from COVID

Gee. Where the heck would we all be if it weren’t for the mainstream media to bring us brand-new information that we never would’ve known about had the mainstream media not been there to tell us about it?

We might actually be all right, as it turns out. Because it feels like it’s become a pretty regular thing for journalists to breathlessly report stuff that the rest of us were already aware of.

Take this hot-off-the-presses scoop from the Washington Post, for example:

Exercise can be an effective tool in the fight against COVID? Well, knock us over with a feather!

More from WaPo:

Men and women who worked out at least 30 minutes most days were about four times more likely to survive covid-19 than inactive people, according to an eye-opening study of exercise and coronavirus outcomes among almost 200,000 adults in Southern California.

“An eye-opening study.”

More:

The study found that exercise, in almost any amount, reduced people’s risks for a severe coronavirus infection. Even people who worked out for as little as 11 minutes a week — yes, a week — experienced lower risks of hospitalization or death from covid than those who moved about less.

Science already offers copious support for the idea that regular, moderate exercise increases our immune response and generally helps us avoid respiratory infections or recover more rapidly if we do catch a bug. In a 2011 study, adults who worked out regularly were almost half as likely to develop colds or similar infections as inactive people and also about 40 percent less likely to report their illnesses as lingering.
A similar pattern is emerging in research about covid, with several studies finding that people who are fit and active wind up hospitalized with or dying of covid at much lower rates than people who are out of shape. Sallis led a study last year, for instance, of more than 48,000 patients at the Kaiser Permanente health-care system in Southern California, showing that those who almost never exercised were at much higher risk of severe outcomes from covid, including death, than patients of the same age who were quite active.

And so, in summary, physical exercise and fitness are good for your immune system. Amazing.

You know, WaPo could’ve saved themselves a decent amount of time and energy by just acknowledging that this stuff was always true and that a lot of people who said it was true way back in the beginning weren’t anti-science knuckle-draggers but rather just regular people with basic common sense.

Of course.

Oh yeah, the pic of the lady working out while wearing a mask while being outside is definitely a choice.

They kept using that word “health.” We do not think it meant what they thought it meant.

And the so-called “experts” raked him over the coals for it.

Yeah. Funny, that.

Anyway, all this raises an important question now:
