South Korea while a small country 51 million only had 326 covid deaths. If you scale up the population to America that would be about 2000 dead.

And they could have significant genetic or environmentally natural immunity through previous exposures, or benefited from other seemingly unrelated national vaccination programs. Like the MMR or BCG.
Of course one major thing is their relative lack of political division, so the above is much more easily promoted and carried out. I haven't read all the posts. No doubt this has already been mentioned.
Anyone with comorbidity makes it more likely they will die from the original ailment. A person with a reduced immune system from cancer or other serious illnesses will be more inclined to die if they catch the flu.
You pile on enough illnesses together, and you will die. You have cancer, add liver disease to that, and you will die. Add diabetes to cancer and liver disease, and you will die even sooner. Not pile on COVID or influenza on top of those, and guess what?
