CDC reports up to 60 million infections over 177,000 deaths. This puts Covid at 3 times the mortality of the average flu, and certainly within range of bad flu seasons like 1957, which killed 220,000 adjusted for population.

Do you have a link for that report?
20 million in late June, just as the huge ramp-up in reported cases from FL, TX, CA and AZ:

The US has had 5.59 million infections and 174,000 deaths, which is closer to 3%. If hospitals were completely overwhelmed it would've been much higher.
Even at 3%, that'd be almost 10 million dead Americans had we followed the Trump strategy of doing nothing and just letting it infect everyone.

CDC reports up to 60 million infections...
Thanks. I tried a search and didn't find the story. That second link didn't work for me but I found the story with another search.... Here's an alternate if anyone's interested.
Up to 60 million Americans may have been infected with coronavirus, CDC director says
So it's 30-60 million as a crude estimate, so COVID is 3-6 times as lethal as some of the worst flu epidemics on record.
I think you mean 3-6x the average flu, which is 0.1% mortality. The 1957 flu caused 220,000 adjusted deaths, which puts Covid at 0.8x 1957 flu currently:

Those cases were also underreported. There's been antibody testing done on a small scale in NY and MA, which suggests way more infections than reported. April in the northeast US, UK and Spain were dealing with the first form of the virus.
The virus mutated (common knowledge around early July) and did two things: it was more easily spread, and became less deadly. This is why we see twice the infections with half the deaths in FL, AZ, CA and TX.
There are those who will say that 'better treatment' is the cause of such a drastic reduction in mortality since July. Surely hospitals must be running out of ventilators with 70,000 cases a day in July versus 30,000 cases a day in April? They also want to say that 'not wearing the mask' is the reason for the higher case count. It's the mutation. Nobody talks about it because Covid in it's current form is essentially a bad flu. It's not even to the level of 1957's flu yet, even when you factor in the deadlier April form. 220,000 US deaths will match the 1957 flu.
Look at Sweden. Sweden's case load doubled in June while deaths decreased. They aren't bothering with masks.
