Beware the western journal site 3 cookies and 9 trackers with a single click! Dang near stalled out my computer. Going directly to the cdc site shows 6% of us cv cases end in death, yes there are other unconfirmed cases. Lets say 6% of severe cases end in death and be done with it. Until somehow everyone gets tested will we know the final number. The only way I could get close was taking deaths of 99,200/328.2m (us population) x100= 0.3%. Better to examine that # after a large segment of us population carries antibodies (illness or vaccine). I can't figure where cdc data shows the % in your linked page. I can't figure who got scammed, who's responsible for taking us down this financially destructive path? Your last sentence, I suppose pertains to the desperate search for direction? This pandemic is surely not bringing out the best in people who might do well pulling together. The rifts can heal and for sure the country will get through this. As to the individuals that survive, that is a crap-shoot.
