Let's walk through it. What's the currently projected fatality rate?
Less than 0.25%
For reference, when this all started they would quote 3-5% using case rates without any context on what the real number would be.

Let's go with 0.25%. It's highly contagious, so, let's say without mitigation or interventions it infects 75% of the US population. At 0.25%, that's a little over 600k deaths.
The main problem is when the hospitals get overrun. In that case, you have additional deaths from people who would have been in the 99.75% that survive, but don't because they can't get treatment.
