Every year nearly 3 million people die in the US already.

Are you saying we experience the worst catastrophe year in and year out?
The hyperbole and exaggerated fearmongering over coronavirus is something to keep an eye out for. Also, if everyone gets infected, it likely means that the virus is far less deadly than you assume and the death rate is far lower than 1%. Think about it rather than cherrypicking data to push an agenda.
