According to Worldometer we (US) have logged 3,639,653 confirmed case and have 140,442 CV deaths.

quick math.. 3.86% of confirmed cases lead to death.

Of course there are a LOT of cases that are not confirmed. A lot of people who had it and didn't know it; which pushes that 3.86% number even lower.

So just how do we get a number as high as 60%

I will note that I believe that 100% of the people have been adversely affected by our self-inflicted over-reaction to this virus.
