RE: Imagine A Virus So Deadly That...

Your whole argument of “Imagine a virus so deadly” start with a wrong preemies as it was never said that the Wuhan Flue is highly deathly.
It was said that COVID-19 is highly contagious. Different things.
Of course a low death rate multiplied with a high amounts of infected still results to a lot of people death.

It was said that Wuhan Flue is so deathly, that if we did nothing, we could potentially have 2,200,000 DEATHS! At it's peak (June), 50,000 DEAD EVERY DAY! Remember the "not enough beds" argument in April?
The quote from April 1st, 2020 by the POTUS on "the most accurate study today":
APRIL FOOLS!
“if no action is taken” — but we took action.
Comparing an estimate for no action with the actual number when action was taken is a fallacy.
It was always said the death rate is only 1% and that the danger lies in the high infectiousness. Note that 1% of 300 million for the USA would still be 3 million.
That the actual numbers turned out lower could be explained with the actions taken being effective.
Of course we never know as we have no comparison group.
Mind you: I do think the action taken in many countries where aren still are over the top and quite authoritarian. It seems that Sweden merely suggesting causes of action instead of enforcing them was just as successful in keeping the Wuhan Flue under control.
All of the "actions" have never been successful in the past... so they say "2.2 million deaths if we do nothing", then implement all sorts of authoritarian somethings "to save lives", and several months later when it's discovered it's not as contagious and not as deadly as claimed, they say "good thing we did all this, imagine how many lives we saved" Really?
Preventing imaginary deaths do not save lives, it's mind control.
Meanwhile, our entire hospital system is on covid welfare, entertainment venues are completely shut down, people walking around with medical masks on and we're told we must continue this charade "until a vaccine" which could be 18 - 24 months from now, never mind it won't work or we'd have a SARS vaccine by now.
Someday, we're going to look back at (Friday) March 13th, 2020 as the unluckiest day in all of HISTORY.
Someday, we're going to look back at April 1, 2020 as the biggest April Fool's Day Joke in all of HISTORY.
We've been had.
We won't know for sure until a few years down the road.
