I don't know where you're getting these numbers. They seem way on the low end. If you're going by CDC tracked cases (seems like 12% there, 40m cumulative cases/328m pop=12%?) to infer the total number of people infected then you're making a huge error. I'd also point out that the CDC said earlier this year that it would not track asymptomatic/minor cases among the vaccinated (bad decision IMHO).
I also think extrapolating from those numbers to 10 years doesn't make sense given the multiple variables involved.
Here's a Nature published study that says probably at least double what you suggest: https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/public-health-now/news/one-three-americans-already-had-covid-19-end-2020 https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/public-health-now/news...
