Why do 1% of Counties Have 55% of Covid Deaths?

Based on research by the Heritage Foundation, the Daily Signal is reporting 30 counties with the most COVID-19 cases account for 48% of all the cases in the U.S. and 55% of all deaths, three to four times greater than their 15% share of the U.S. population.   Even allowing for suggestions that there is massive over-reporting of Wuhan virus deaths, what is it that makes you more likely to die if you get the virus in these counties?

  1. This is the same population that, on a good day, accounts for most deaths.
    Among the baseline well, there is, on any day, a non-zero death rate.
    However, the population that is most likely to die is…more likely to die.
    Adding coronavirus to this serves as a force-multiplier (not additive, multiplicative.)
