719,933 COVID-19 DEATHS IN AMERICA: WHY IS THE VIRUS MORE VIRULENT IN AMERICA?

ICHEOKU says coronavirus death toll in America has crossed 700,000 and speedily inching close to one million. Thousands more are still dying from the scourge in America today when nearly the rest of the world have moved on from the virus and back to living their normal, pre coronavirus, life. It is equally noteworthy that none of these other countries suffered as many loss of lives as America suffered and still suffering; and despite vaccinations, many people are still dying from the coronavirus in America. So, what went wrong with America's handling of the coronavirus and why is America still being pummeled by it? Why is the death toll in America far more worse than it is in the rest of the countries, including the reputedly, country of origin and purveyor of the coronavirus, China.  

Why, despite the fabled medical and technological sciences advancement of America were so many American people still lost and are still being lost to the coronavirus disease.  What exactly went wrong in America's healthcare system that brought about such a gory outcome. Why did more American people die from the coronavirus than any other people on the face of earth including in less developed countries. Is it possible that Americans were infected with a different strand of the coronavirus than the type which the rest of the world were infected with? Is it possible too that the infection rate and mortality had to do with our body type and the food we eat or our lifestyle? What caused the very high mortality and why did more Americans die and still dying because of the virus.

Could it be that our medical and hospital management is afterall not the best or as efficient as they are hyped to be; or simply that medical staff got overwhelmed by the number of the dying that they became numb to death and in the process to get it over with, no longer cared much about who lived or died. Did business considerations come into play in the thinking of how to manage the pandemic that infected people did not receive optimal care, leading to their deaths. Did such profit over care consideration impact the quality of care that were being administered that it led to such a high number of fatalities. Why did what worked in other countries not work in America, in regards to prevention and care that kept their death rates very low?

It is a very difficult thing to process, the fact that more people died from the coronavirus pandemic in America and are still dying from it than in any other country, especially for a country that prides itself as supposedly the premier country on earth. Not even third world countries fared this bad and no other advanced country suffered a fate close to what America found itself with and still going through with. America is the third most populous country in the world yet it suffered more coronavirus deaths than the first and second most populous countries, China and India, put together. So, why the wide disparity or is there something peculiar in our DNA that made us to be more susceptible to the disease than the rest of the world. 

It is not enough to mention that over seven hundred Americans have died so far or just to mourn and pray for them; there is a need to investigate the medical anomaly which manifests in this huge numbers and unravel the mystery behind it. It is inexplicable that this many Americans succumbed to the virus and so many people in America as well as the rest of the world similarly share in this concern, wondering why the almighty America could not arrest the scourge and prevent its people from being deleted by it in so large numbers. The country of can do where nothing is impossible eventually found itself on bended knees, being clobbered by the coronavirus when the rest of the world did not suffer nearly the same level of fatalities. 

Something does not feel right about the high death toll and needs a digging deep into, to find out why. Not even the change of presidents effected anything with 319,933 deaths since President Joe Biden took office. To the dead and dying, may the good Lord give them rest. To those afflicted and suffering, we decree speedy recovery on them. To the unvaccinated, please get your shots and help in your little way to help keep the scourge under control. As we continue to explore what possibly went wrong that cost this many lives, 719,933 Americans dead; and how to keep everybody safe and alive, pharmaceutical companies should double their effort at finding a permanent panacea for the virus, either a vaccine or a drug that actually works, which will finally put an end to the scourge. It is sad.
