My point being that 700k out of a population of 300 million is a drop in the hat.

Quick math to start the comparison: 700k deaths since March 1, 2020 averages out to 442,100 deaths per year.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm

If 2020 and 2021 are statistically similar to 2019 (similar number of deaths, similar breakdown):

  • Covid will account for 15.5% of all deaths in the US
  • Covid will be the 3rd-highest cause of death, beaten only by heart disease and cancer
  • Covid will kill more people than the 5th, 6th, and 7th causes (chronic respiratory disease, strokes, alzheimer's) combined


You are correct that 0.2% of the population dying doesn't mean that America is at risk of being single-handedly wiped out by Covid, but Covid is nonetheless an extremely significant source of mortality, especially for a single contagious disease that acts so quickly (neither heart disease nor cancer can claim any of those points). That should not be diminished.
