600k excess deaths in the US, which is 0.02% of the 328 million population - ie, 99.98% of the us population survived the virus in 2020. Is it silly ?

Edit : it is, my bad, added a zero. It should read 0.2%, not 0.02%.

Another way to look at it is that in January, when things were worst, weekly deaths from everything were about 50% higher than "normal" for 2015-19.

That's not precisely the same as covid-19 deaths, nor does it represent the whole of 2020, but it's pretty staggering and suggests what would happen if it was left untreated.

Errrrr you do know you don't count people who haven't had the virus in survival rates, right? If they haven't had it, they haven't survived it.
