And when 3-5 million people die over the course of a year you won't blame the government?

  Those numbers aren't realistic.

  Those numbers are unrealistically high, but even so I wouldn't blame the government for them. If Wuhan hadn't set a bad example, I doubt anyone would have even considered universal house arrest as an option in the government's toolkit.

  Something I thought about the other day that I think puts some of this in perspective: The population of the US is ~300 million. The average lifespan is ~80 years. We have a growing population, but supposing we had a stable population, that would require a bit more than 3 million people to die each year. Basically my point is, in a stable situation, that order of people will already be dying yearly. I don't know what the actual numbers are for the county, but basically since people live less than 100 years, if we had a stable population (which at some point we'll need to return to), then roughly 1% of the population needs to die every year.
