You are missing the subtle point that all those deaths occured despite all the measures. Most of Europe and Asia and the reasonable countries of the Americas shut down and took 6-10% off their GDP and still so many people died. And this doesn't even count all the undiagnosed ones from USofBadStatistics to the usual dictators which falsify data to the developing world which doesn't have any decent one.

Not to say the other things aren't major issues and in many cades have rather straightforward soputiopns (soda and fast food tax, massively inconvenience/tax smoking and drinking, actual driving lessons, rule enforcement and road improvements in developing countries, clean water and basic medicine for more places, ... But all this doesn't take away the seriousness of the pandemic. The world continued after black death, but with up to 1/3 and in some places 1/2 the population dead. So life will go on no matter how many die, but this doesn't excuse inaction.
