The U.S. has almost double the amount of cases and deaths as the next nearest country.

Even if you cut the numbers by almost half, America still leads the world in both cases and deaths from Covid.

that is th problem with politics playing a part in a pandemic...no one knows the actual numbers. you are basing your argument on an unknown. doesnt matter if you cut it half or three fourths or zero, its unknown

It's a cause.

Our poor health care system is also a contributing factor.

poor health is the problem, over weight, smoking, drug use. No one is turned away for healthcare in the US.

The numbers are not "unknown". The numbers are collected and reported by government agencies like the CDC or the National Center for Health Statistics.

Poor health is partly due to the fact that we make it so damned complicated to get primary care or to get insurance that covers good primary care.

It's also, of course, due to our culture of large portions, fast food and sedentary lifestyles.

The CDC summarizes a number of studies showing lower Covid-related health hazards where masks were employed.

Imagine that........

But it's mainly due to your large proportion of anti-vax paranoiacs.
