The dataset on Covid is so wildly incomplete to invalidate the objectivity of your entire argument.
> competing against such beacons of healthcare and wealth as the Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has had 1.23 deaths per 100k population from Covid [1]. Why do you think the US has 200x deaths per population than the DRC ?

Yes people are not all the same, and those different factors effect outcomes. The US has a large populations that are elderly, chronically sick, urban, highly mobile etc, were tested for covid, etc.
Saying hundreds of thousands of people could have been saved in the US is highly speculative.
