Six Hiroshimas, and still counting. Or, a little more than 12 Vietnam Wars. Ouch. Also "2% death toll" isn't very comforting when it means hundreds of thousands dead.

1.6% and that's with all the false reporting of people that died of car wrecks but also had covid.
If it's like Italy, 97% reduction of the death count when they were audited.

You're going to have to back up that 97% with data and sources. 1.6% is about what I was guessing (sorry, I rounded because I was doing the math mentally) -- and that's pretty much what it's been all along. My point is, 1.6 percent of the whole population (America or the world), or any reasonable fraction thereof, is an ungodly number. .016 x 330,000,000 = 5,280,000 dead. If we assume that not everybody gets it -- let's say ultimately a third of us, that's still 1,760,000 dead.

Ye gods, we're almost halfway there now. And, remember that 1.6% is the risk for the population at large, not the just over 10% of us with diabetes (34 million and change), the 3% of us who are immune compromised, or the 13% of the population over age 65, some of whom overlap with the other two groups. Those tiny-sounding percentages disguise lot of human suffering.

Several states in the US has done similar.
What you aren't taking into account is that many of the deaths are counted even though they are from car wrecks, diabetes, old age, organ failure, and gun shot wounds. When you remove all the comorbidities that are not related (leaving in things like pneumonia and things like that), you get a much lower number.
