Its called context. No one wants deaths, but shutting down the livelihoods of millions for something on par with the flu in terms of deaths, when nothing was shut down for the flu. Context matters. Thats why people bring it up.

Economical, social, and cultural impacts should be considered before shutting things down. Thats why alcohol isnt banned, the deaths related to alcohol dont outweigh all those other factors.
It's a bad take. We had no idea what the effects of COVID-19 were when it started, and we saw how other countries were dealing with it. We should have followed their lead - things would have legitimately been safely reopening already if we had.

Don't know why people compare this to something like alcohol, either. Alcohol use isn't contagious or uncontrollable.
