Except that a huge portion of those deaths are in places that may have already reached herd immunity, if the ratio of comfirmed / actual cases is as small as this study suggests.
NYC, for example, has 123k confirmed cases. Multiply by 50, and you have 6.1M, which is close to 70% of the total population.
