U.S. COVID-19 cases: 533,115 Active Cases: 482,033 Closed Cases: 51,082 Mild Cases: 470,562 (98%) ... 470,562 / 533,115 = 88.3%, not 98%

Wrong denominator. They are calculating the percentage of currrently active cases that are mild. This excludes those who have recovered or died. 482,033 is the correct denominator.
