It's so easy to spread viruses, they really should have had a private ceremony or just stayed home. One of the biggest reasons illnesses spread is because people don't stay home when they're ill! I wonder if the guests knew ahead of time that the bride and groom had the flu? Also something to note, some people have died from this flu. What if one of the guests had compromised health that put them at greater risk?

mdriller, ithe title of the article is accurate, read the end of the first sentence. The CDC found the same results here in the US. Overweight reduces risk of death, underweight increases risk of death.

From the CDC report:
"Underweight individuals (BMI of less than 18.5) had a higher risk of death with nearly 34,000 more deaths than expected."
"Being overweight (BMI of 25-29.9) was not associated with excess mortality. The study found that 87,000 fewer deaths than expected were associated with being overweight."
