Overweight Britons are more likely to become seriously ill or die if infected by the CCP virus, according to a UK government strategy launched on Monday to tackle Britain’s “obesity time bomb.”

Central to the new plans are the banning of junk food advertising before the 9 p.m. watershed, the ending of “buy one, get one free” deals on unhealthy foods, and the listing of calorie contents on large restaurants’ menus and, possibly, also on alcohol.
