CDC estimated that 1/4 covid infections had an associated positive test. I did the same kind of napkin math you're referring too for Floridia a few months back and they'd could have been at 80% of the population with some level of immunity.

But napkin math probably isn't a good way to run a pandemic response. Just like herd immunity doesn't really matter at an individual level.

I'm also not sure how much the usa experience applies to other countries. They seem to have not liked lockdowns and masks very much.
