I give you lots of credit for a coherent response that has some elements of thought and intelligence present....even though I don't agree with all of it.Sam, part of the problem with our death rate is the pervasive obesity herein- and, for all I know, you might be part of the problem yourself, which would explain, though not really validate, your fear. With that said, the comparison to other parts of the industrialized world is a tad misleading, since it is precisely the industrialized world that is getting hit the hardest due to higher median age. As it is, the United States is doing worse than Western Europe generally speaking; better than most of Eastern Europe (including higher income countries there like the Czech Republic) and quiet a bit worse than Asia. But for obesity, I suspect that our numbers would be as low as those in places like Western Europe. You are technically correct that "we lead the industrialized world" in deaths, but we certainly do not lead in per capita deaths. I urge you to seek therapy for your obvious neurosis about "Covid", as mental stress can surely lead to just as many issues as those caused by viruses. You should always remember that the worst pandemic of all is a pandemic of fear.
