Based on the only numbers I am certain of (Madison County, TN and to an extent the State of Tennessee) which is a small sampling of the country, to be sure, but no possible way it is overstated by 30 times the amount. Just not remotely possible. You sir are out there on the fringe with that claim, unsupported by any realistic study on the planet, in my humble or otherwise opinion.
I asked you
"based on what ?" is it
"not remotely possible". You did not answer that question, nor did you offer a shred of evidence to support you view, in contrast to the number of studies and reports that I posted as source links.
The claim of over 200,00 US deaths is a laughingstock. The true number is likely to be less than 1/30 of that, about 7,000, if that many.
The Florida Department of Health provided 13,920 COVID-19 death certificates to House staff members for analysis. Sixty percent of the death certificates had reporting errors and, the analysis said, did not adhere “to the national standards for completion of death certificates in general and guidelines for COVID-19 related deaths in particular.”
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines include in the death total
all deaths in which positive COVID-19 tests are known. Florida abides by the guidelines.
“Any ‘current
’ count of COVID-19 deaths is more accurately described as
the number of people with COVID-19 who died, rather than those who died from COVID-19,” the analysis said.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield acknowledged Friday that the number of COVID-19 deaths could be inflated where someone who had the virus actually died from something else, but it was recorded as a COVID death.
At a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, titled, “The Urgent Need for a National Plan to Contain the Coronavirus,” Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) said he wished that Admiral Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at HHS, didn’t have to leave the hearing early, because the last time he appeared before the committee, they discussed the incentive for people in the medical field to claim someone died of COVID just to
get more money.
CDC Director: ‘I Think You’re Correct’ About Inflated COVID Death Statistics
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield acknowledged Friday that the number of COVID-19 deaths could be inflated where someone who had the virus actually died from something else, but it was recorded as a COVID death.

Are deaths unrelated to COVID-19 being marked as COVID-19?
The claim: Arizonans who are suspected to have COVID-19 and have died in recent months have all been marked as COVID-19, even if they did not die from COVID-19.

IN ADDITION:
“We’ve unfortunately had six pure, solely coronavirus deaths — six out of 3.3 million people,” County Supervisor Jim Desmond said on the radio show
Armstrong & Getty Extra Large Interviews.,
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported. San Diego County had reported roughly 190 deaths at the time — the current number is 200.
In short, Desmond was suggesting that while COVID-19 may have contributed to the 190 deaths, most of those deaths were due in part to previous, unrelated health concerns.
Indeed, the disease has proven most deadly for people with underlying health conditions, so it stands to reason that “pure, solely coronavirus deaths” would be the minority — perhaps even just 3.2 percent of the total recorded deaths, as Desmond suggested.
As of Friday afternoon, (May 2020) there have been 87,218 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the U.S. If Desmond’s claim is accurate and if that 3.2 percent rate holds across the country, and discounting the death certificate inflation, that would mean there are only 2,891 “pure, solely coronavirus deaths” in the U.S.
Just How Inflated Are Coronavirus Death Counts, Exactly?
There have likely been fewer Coronavirus deaths than reported. "Pure, solely coronavirus deaths" may be only 3.2 percent of the total. The numbers are inflated.

As of October 26, 2020, the CDC reports 210,545 US deaths WITH (not from) Covid. If the 3.2% number cited by Jim Desmond is correct, as it well may be, then that would give us a
total of 6,737 “pure, solely coronavirus deaths” in the U.S.
