One reason to attempt to be healthy, be a normal weight, and lift heavy things if you can is that when something like Covid-19 comes to kick the shit out of you, you have a much better chance of standing up to that onslaught.

That’s not speculation; that’s what the evidence shows. As with most ailments those who are obese, who are not fit, who are already halfway to death’s door get there much sooner when something like this pandemic strikes.

Death comes for us all. But you don’t have to leave out the welcome mat.
