Even I would say it is a "superbug." Just about 1% of Americans caught it. That's pretty impressive. >

My understanding of a superbug is a transmittable pathogen with significant risk (multiple percentage points) of high consequence outcomes (fatality, permanent disability, etc.)

Many people get the common cold on a yearly basis (double digit percentages), and it's not a superbug.

Can you think of any other virus that infected 1% of the US?

The common cold.

You're right that COVID-19 is a low-risk bug.

The common cold.

The common cold is not one virus; it is a collection of many viruses which are a part of the same family.
