Rather than guess, let’s look at actual facts as to why the US Covid deaths are as high as they are:

One, the US decided to code anyone who died, that tested positive for Covid, or was suspected to have died with Covid, as a Covid death.

Two, according to the CDC, obese people are 3X more likely to be hospitalized with Covid, and the US has the highest percentage of obese people of any major country.

Three, the US had a higher percentage of nursing home patients die with Covid than any other country in the world. While other countries did their best to protect their most vulnerable people, some states in the US insisted that those with Covid be placed in nursing homes.

Plenty of blame to go around…
