Reason: maths

Could you explain where you got that number from? With the official number of covid deaths in the US at around 340,000 (including gunshots, suicides, anal cancer and car wrecks) your claim would mean that 34 billion people have already survived it, several times the total number of humans on the planet let alone in America.

340,000 is about 1 in every 1000 Americans. That means that at best 1000 people survive for every 1 that dies, and that's only if every single American has already caught the virus.

The official death toll is certainly debatable for reasons you alluded to, among others, but if you're basing your argument on the official toll then you should check your math.
