According to DuckDuckGo's stats, 33,982,900 have been infected and 1,014,352 died. I guess that's 3% and I goofed. It's still low.

Seems more reliable to just look at overall deaths from any cause, and whether they are up much this year compared to previous years (and variation from year to year). This avoids the COVID-19 misclassification issue.

No, these are the number of "confirmed" infected (with a broken test, mind you) of an "illness" that is mostly imaginary ("asymptomatic") and the FUDGED number of "deaths by covid" hyper-inflated to make it look like something is actually happening.
