The Mayo Clinic, for example, said that experts estimate 70% of Americans would have to contract and then recover from Covid-19 in order for herd immunity to be achieved. That would mean 229 million cases. It is hard to know for sure what the death rate from Covid-19 is, but it is safe to say that many cases would lead to an astronomical number of deaths.” https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/16/politics/donald-trump-covid-19-coronavirus-abc-townhall/index.html As of August 24 the CDC’s estimate was for an infection fatality rate of 0.65% for the U.S. in the Spring of 2020. https://www.statnews.com/2020/08/24/infection-fatality-rate-shows-covid-19-isnt-getting-less-deadly/ Mayo Clinic: “Herd immunity and COVID-19 (coronavirus): What you need to know” https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/herd-immunity-and-coronavirus/art-20486808
