Well, no one can really know why the difference exists. All good comments by both of you.
One thing that I do note, sarcastically, is that after Colin Powell - fully vaxxed - died of Covid, a WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE DISCOVERED COMORBIDITIES. Before, those same people behaved as if we were bringing Lebron James and Lance Armstrong into the ER with Covid, putting them on a ventilator, and watching them die. But with Colin Powell, it was immediately, "Well, he was old and almost dead. He had cancer. He had whatever" - all true, but it was true since March 2020.

Nope - it’s the US’s relative poor public health and low access to healthcare for the most poor.
Infant mortality is 50% higher in the US vs the UK because of our poor health and poor access to healthcare. Same set of conditions are leading to our current high mortality rate with COVID
you are an engineer so 3.33/2.35 is 42%, that is not a small difference. And actually fits about perfectly with the 35-45% number that I said in my previous email that I think the USA is over accounting for Covid deaths.
IF we use the 2 week lag for fatality approach, USA was at 72,000 positives with 1100 fatality today so 72000/1100 is 1 fatality per 65 positive cases logged.
For UK 2 weeks ago at 45,000 positive cases and 160 fatality today so 45000/160 = 1 fatality per 281 positives.
So somehow USA is 4.3 times the fatality per daily positive, again not making any sense.
All pointing back to the USA over accounting for covid deaths compared to UK (and Rest of world).
