At the current rate there should be about 300,000 Covid deaths by the end of the year. Your numbers align with what we are seeing.
You might also check your average recovery rate. The last information I could find puts the death rate in the US at about 2% which would mean a survival rate of 98%. Not everyone will have long-lasting effects but some will which means that depending on how you define "recovery" that rate is something less than 98%.
There is far too much misinformation and misleading "facts" being thrown around.
