Note the difference between the people killed in WW2 and those killed by COVID-19: the WW2 deaths were primarily healthy young men in their late teens and early 20s. The COVID-19 deaths have been primarily among the elderly and infirm. There are numerous exceptions, sure, but the societal impact of deaths among the two different demographic groups is pretty different, qualitatively if not quantitatively.
