Here is a funny thing, people in the US believe that 9% of the population or 30 million have died from Covid with 65 million infected so 50% lethality rate. Talk about a media pandemic.

CDC puts COVID deaths between 58,749 and 135,579 (excluding or including influenza co-infections) in the US.

If anything that proves that people aren't following the media enough. The numbers are available 24/7 and get reported repeatedly on the media yet people don't seem to know them.
