It certainly seems that way looking at the latest Coronavirus stats. As of this snapshot deaths are 37.6% of final outcomes in the U.S. where we pay more for drugs and services than any other country. In South Korea only 2.9% of the final outcomes were fatal. [ 1943 / (1943+3224) ~ 37.6%]
Some will try to say it is all of the booze we drink and fried food we eat, but when you consider all of the beer and brats of Octoberfest and look at Germany’s final outcomes having only a 9.29% fatality rate, one has to believe that can’t be it. According to Wikipedia, Germany must be doing Universal Health Care right.
If it was just South Korea with under a 5% fatality rate in final outcomes, one could say it has something to do with diet and lifestyle. But even Mainland China has only a 4.21% fatality rate in final outcomes.
One has to wonder why, in a country where we pay so much for drugs and medical services, our final outcome fatality rate isn’t below 5%.
