Don't disagree at all mate. I certainly don't underestimate any disease which is increased the overall deaths above average by 80000 in less than 2 months

"(Between March 1, 2020, and April 25, 2020, a total of 505 059 deaths were reported in the US; 87 001 (95% CI, 86 578-87 423) were excess deaths, of which 56 246 (65%) were attributed to COVID-19. In 14 states, more than 50% of excess deaths were attributed to underlying causes other than COVID-19; these included California (55% of excess deaths) and Texas (64% of excess deaths) (Table). The 5 states with the most COVID-19 deaths experienced large proportional increases in deaths from nonrespiratory underlying causes, including diabetes (96%), heart diseases (89%), Alzheimer disease (64%), and cerebrovascular diseases (35%) (Figure). New York City experienced the largest increases in nonrespiratory deaths, notably from heart disease (398%) and diabetes (356%).)" https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768086


I think Covid is around to stay, lots of countries will find ways to minimise spread and impact and get back to normal, but the biggest thing people need to realise is that it kills at much higher rates than flu, it is additive to flus (i.e. flu deaths haven't stopped because of covid), and if we didn't partake in any protective measures (social distancing, isolations, quarantines etc) then this could of been a lot worse. Even in the USA, things are horrendous but a good portion of people are still doing the right thing.
