Not even close.
Infection fatality rates-
0-19 years: 0.00003
20-49 years: 0.0002
50-69 years: 0.005
70+ years: 0.054
There are 80 million Americans age 19 and under. At these rates 2400 would die.
150 million age 20 to 50. Less than 30000 dead.
80 million age 50 to 70. 400000 dead.
And the 35 million over 70 35 million. Almost 2 million dead.

Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
