Not everyone is dying. Those that are, predominantly are obese. You can read the entire report from the CDC here:


https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/pdf/21_0123.pdf

Among 4,899,447 hospitalized adults in PHD-SR, 540,667
(11.0%) were patients with COVID-19, of whom 94.9% had at
least 1 underlying medical condition. Essential hypertension
(50.4%), disorders of lipid metabolism (49.4%), and obesity
(33.0%) were the most common. The strongest risk factors for
death were obesity (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] = 1.30;
95% CI,
1.27–1.33), anxiety and fear-related disorders (aRR = 1.28; 95%
CI, 1.25–1.31), and diabetes with complication (aRR = 1.26; 95%
CI, 1.24–1.28), as well as the total number of conditions, with
aRRs of death ranging from 1.53 (95% CI, 1.41–1.67) for patients
with 1 condition to 3.82 (95% CI, 3.45–4.23) for patients with
more than 10 conditions (compared with patients with no conditions).
