I don't think many people are still in the "same as flu" camp, which is a bit of a straw man. For example this CDC guidance is estimating 5-8x worse fatality rate than the average flu (0.05% IFR). You can have a realistic opinion of the disease and reasonably object to lockdowns. I'm not sure if your issue is with opinions against the lockdown, this author, or some other random group not mentioned here. I do think overall everything about the disease has come in on the low side of expert estimates back from March (this article suggests otherwise). Which is both a testimate to science and damning of our society's tools for handling a disease in this range of severity.
