Oh, good grief. My point was that this virus is like the seasonal flu. It attacks the weak and frail — and many of those counted as "Covid deaths" actually died from other causes but were tested positive for Covid-19 (including motorcycle accidents and deaths by gunshot). Some were not even tested, they were just assumed to be positive for Covid-19. (I'm a member of the "at risk" group BTW.)
And the other point is that the death count for Covid-19 is not uniquely high. The Asian flu of 1957 was worse (percentage-wise) and they didn't shut down the country for that one.
