Why are so many people dying in the U.S. from Coronavirus?

Primarily Arrogance of our leaders who thought we were more prepared than we were.

Slowly, likely beginning with the Great Recession onwards less and less money was spent on training nurses and doctors (my son told me about this between 2008 and 2010) when he was getting his Bachelor of Science in Nursing. So, I first learned about this ongoing problem now in the U.S. then.

So, people after not training our medical infrastructure of enough nurses or doctors or equipment for them to heal with since about 2006 or 2008 were still believing that we were as great regarding healthcare as we were around 2000 or 2005. But, that hasn't been true since at least 2008.

Like I said, what my son observed from 2008 to 2010 was horrific he said and he foresaw then the problems people are having now.

So, what is the main thing killing our people?

The arrogance of our leaders believing we are now what we once were medically before the Great Recession.
