Oh, so this thing is over and there will be no more deaths? How many deaths do you think were prevented because of the so-called tyrannical restrictions put in place across the globe?

Also, are we now believing China's death numbers, or is just being used to make this point?

Bear in mind, I'm not arguing in favor of the adopted policies, but just trying to gain an understanding of how nearly 80,000, and growing, deaths in the US from a newly discovered virus isn't the problem.

Because it's 0.02% of the US population, and heavily concentrated in a few hotspots.

For the overwhelming majority of this country the virus was never the problem. The response was.

Zero

Some deaths were delayed, not prevented. Unless they invent some magical virus killing ray gun or something

You don't really believe that. No one does.

There is a vast difference between dying because of the Chinese Flu virus and dying with the Chinese Flu virus.

Far less than you imagine, and don't kid yourself into thinking any of these measures will prevent infections, it's only a delaying tactic (which is supposed to be the whole point but you dishonest little shits keep shifting the goal posts).
