Now we are about 1.358m ill (0.413% of us population 328.2m) infected and about 81,650 deaths (6.01% of ill)
To get to herd immunity of ~70% of 328.2m results in 229.7m ill people applying 6.01% gives 13,804,970 deaths to reach herd immunity.


You are assuming that the “confirmed by test cases”
1.358 million
are the only infected Americans.

You need to multiply the 1.358 million by roughly 28

We have not done enough “antibody tests” on the general USA population to know the
“infected & recovered but never tested”
but the antibody testing that has been done in the USA
indicates that for every “confirmed case” there are another 28 cases.

Only the little country of Iceland has done enough antibody testing to determine the percent of their population that has been infected.
