"The calculation you are asking to do is not a realistic scenario."
Yes - with the original lock down, with extensive social distancing measures - the 'end result' will be in the same order of magnitude as 'smoking' (actually much more) - but without suppressive measures it would be apocalyptic.
It's entirely plausible to estimate: it's in the order of millions of dead in a short period. It would probably be the 'worst disaster in US history by a long shot'. Probably worse than all wars in including Civil War and WW1 + WW2 combined.
FYI The UK and Sweden were estimating 60-80% of the population infected in order to get 'herd immunity' - so given the IFR/CFRs stated above ... that's millions of Americans dead, and just as many with lingering effects.
