Let's make one thing clear: posts like these are disingenuous.

Yes, 1% of 328M people would be approximate to 3.28M deaths assuming survival rates are accurate. The math is right.

Current COVID case count is below 14M, meaning, just over 4% of USA population has tested positive https://twitter.com/_Envan_/status/1334230501427728393
With promising vaccines coming soon(fingers crossed) this means that there is a VERY low probability that 100% of Americans will be infected (necessary to reach these potential 3M+ deaths)

Not to mention we'd have a lockdown way before numbers reached anything close to that
I take COVID seriously but I also keep myself informed so that I don't post bullshit that's highly unrealistic.

~4% of US population infected and that's with people not giving a fuck and gathering en masse, 9 months into the pandemic.

No, we will not reach 100% infection.
The spread could and should slow down if more people wore masks and stayed mindful, sadly that seems like a tall order for some people whose "rights are infringed" if we enforce masks.

But even if things stayed this way, we still wouldn't reach that number.
That number of potential deaths is only good for scaring people but it bears virtually zero relevance. Stay informed kids.
