Recent information shows that if you are not a white caucasian your risk of death from COVID is 1.5 to 4 times higher than the 80.4% of the UK population that is white.
The reasons for this difference will keep research scientists busy for years, but it is suspected it is a genetic difference that results in body cells being easier for the virus to get inside.
In the USA the white caucasians are only 60% of the population. Assuming that the same genetic factors apply then the USA is going to have a far higher death rate than we have, even adjusted for population size.
Sobering.
