The question is to which one we are closer? That's what I think no one knows. Like how reddit says "2 million will die in the US" and some people say "it's just a flu" the truth maybe between the two half way there or so

Societies have already proven they can put in sufficient containment practices to keep hospitals from getting overwhelmed, so it's a matter if other countries follow similarly effective practices or let themselves get overwhelmed.
