Survival rate = 1-Ifr. Ifr is ~0.1% so 99.9% is right. There were no 200k corona deaths in the US.

There have been more than 200k deaths from COVID-19, and the year is not yet over. I linked to information supporting the number I gave.

I actually think the number is a bit higher, since not all deaths triggered by COVID-19 are necessarily reported with COVID-19 as a comorbidity[0]. But there are certainly not fewer!
