It has always been suspicious how US casualties of the virus were so many more than more densely populated countries.
My recall is only Peru had higher per capita deathcounts and all of that was pointed at one particular variant that their ethnicity seemed to be extra vulnerable to.
In Spring 2020 and then the winter 2020 and early 2021 the US Covid death counts and Excess Deaths spiked enormously, but China, nothing. Japan, nothing. Thailand, nothing. Korea, nothing.
Almost like it was designed to spare Asians. Asia death counts did rise but only after mutations arrived on the scene.
I tentatively looked into this and I vaguely recall seeing some evidence that the theory was bogus, that US nursing home residents of Asian ethnicity were dying at the same rate as others, but I never was able to find that data again.

Most countries didn’t have that many ventilators - which were basically a death sentence.
