Indiana study, excluding elderly in nursing homes says death rate following infection is 0.26%.

Assume that COVID deaths are accurately reported. Assume 500K dead in the USA already. Then 500K / 0.26% = 192 million already infected and mostly recovered.
With 328 million Americans, 192M / 328M = 58% infected already which is well on the way to herd immunity at suppose 75%.
Its not just the USA, reported cases are dropping in a similar way elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.
Yay, get vaccinated and be ready to crush this virus again next flu season.
