First, mortality rate is based off of the number infected, not the entire population. So 200k/6.61M is 3% mortality rate overall. I'm not sure why people have been continually trying to do that math differently, but it's getting old.

Then, your last figure of the infected population is just wrong. 6.61M/325M is 2% of the population, not 0.018%.

I like my numbers better.  :)

6,610,000 million / 325,000,000 is .02033

And I stand by what I said, the numbers don't come anywhere remotely close to lock down and destroy the economy plus all the ancillary harm that no one want to talk about.  I also have not seen any hard evidence that shows lock downs help.  I am not trying to argue, nor do I want to.  I understand it's not popular, but it does not necessarily mean it's wrong.
