Doesn't seem to be much correlation for your hypothesis.
It is not my hypothesis. It's the actual results of research:
Increased mortality per million was significantly associated with higher obesity prevalence (RR=1.12; 95%CI: 1.06–1.19) and per capita gross domestic product (GDP) (RR=1.03; 95%CI: 1.00–1.06).

And, regardless, from those countries:
Belgium - Fat
Spain - Fat
Argentina - Fat
Brazil - Fat
UK - Fat
Mexico - Fattest
US - Second Fattest
Italy - Fat
Columbia - Not very fat
France - Fat
Relative risks are over 1.
Oh, and, my "theory" is a combination of other people's theories.
Looks like age, obesity, and water contamination (sewage contaminating the drinking water supply) are the causes/biggest risks.
Other research has debunked the myth about population density being a cause. I'll see if I can find that. It was a bit left-field for me but if that data says it, it's the data...can't argue with it. Also, this is the wrong thread for this convo.
Found a slightly more recent study on who dies and what correlates to their deaths from the rona (in the world of rona, the best research is the most recent research because we keep learning more and more about it - some research done in the beginning is still spot on accurate, though):
Looking at the BMI section, the higher your BMI, the more likely you are to die (that almost rhymes). The thinner you are except the "thinnest people", the less likely you are to die. But the thinnest folks starting seeing increased risk of mortality from the rona.
But it looks like the absolute best predictor of mortality from rona, in that table is age.
Kidney function had a strong correlation, too (eGFR).
