I’d like to think it’s age and butts. That said, think of how many Americans are in poor health.

yup...in a population that expects everything that's wrong with you to be fixed with a pill or surgery you are screwed when a pill or surgery won't fix what ails you....

also read in Italy there is a huge disparity in quality of medical treatment depending on where you live...as you move south not so good

Because people live on top of each other in cities. Most cases are in NYC

I was in nyc 3 or 4 weeks ago(seems like a lifetime) and I could not believe the amount of foreign people Ofer where I went. I heard French italian and English everywhere. It’s a global germ hub.

Aside from the other obvious reasons mentioned this is largely due to much higher rates of testing, NY is using its own labs along with the CDC tests. I don’t know if any other states are doing or are able to do this.
