If that's the case, it makes the 300,000 deaths that have been reported a fairly small percentage of those getting it as dying, doesn't it? Using those numbers, 15% of the population having actually/probably who have gotten it is almost 5 million people. Of that, 300,00 have officially died making it about 6% of those who've had it who have died. (and that percentage is suspect, since we're always hearing about people who have died for other reasons, but just happened to have Covid too)
In any case, it still makes a little less that 1/10th of 1% (or 1 in one thousand) of total population of the USA who have officially died from it. (and please check my math, because I did go to public scholls . . .)
