You are confusing things. The number that this thread is about is the risk of dying IF you get sick from the virus. The death rate you are you are referencing above is the number of deaths per the entire population, not the chance of dying if u get sick.
Actually, the Worldometer Mortality rate in the US and the Johns Hopkins mortality rate is about 100,000 US deaths with 1.8 million cases which is about a case mortality rate of 5.8%.
This is at odds with the CDC numbers but that is a different issue.
I am only discussing math, not what the real numbers are.
