Forgive me if this is the wrong thread for this question, but this came to mind after reading about Chantal's coughing and wheezing.
They say that heavy breathing while exercise spreads COVID more than regular breathing, IE the Ontario spin class outbreak. When a very fat person is huffing and puffing from light activity, or even from just pulling on a seatbelt like Chantal, does that come with the same risk of extra spread as a normal-sized person doing exercise? Or does it have to do with the deep heaving of the breath?
IME there's a difference between the shallow "out of breath" breathing that comes when you're just out of shape, and the big huge gulping heavy breathing one gets with a rigorous workout. Where does deathfat panting fall on that spectrum?
