    Abstract

    We have read with great interest the Brief Cutting Edge Report from Simonnet et al. which reports a high prevalence of obesity in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-Cov-2) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. In the context of unprecedented health crisis due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, these results are of a great importance and may have major implications in public health strategy especially in western countries affected by a high prevalence of obesity.
