Except that’s not true, and excess mortality data indicate that death totals are UNDERESTIMATING COVID-19 deaths. When it’s all said and done, we’ll likely find 1.5 to 2 times as many people died than the official case confirmed deaths. And that’s even less than the 4X (20X globally) with H1N1
There is no excess is mortality rates. That, alone, kills this ridiculous argument.
If what you just suggested were true, the hospitals would have ACTUALLY been overwhelmed, like we were assured they would be. But it never happened.
And yet, here you are telling us the death rate is UNDERESTIMATED. I can't take you seriously with that kind of logic.

There is no excess is mortality rates.
The Economist is tracking excess deaths globally and it’s a trend all over. And this is despite lockdowns that have limited other common causes of deaths (like car accidents; insurance companies are even giving a rebate as a result).
Covid-19’s death toll appears higher than official figures suggest
