I agree that we should be tracking more of everything, including people who died because of the lockdown measures. However, your statement that the death rates aren't that different from the flu are demonstrably wrong. One, the data does not show that. Two, your confidence in such a statement is not warranted, given that we do not have very good data for what is still an active Wave 1 of a pandemic. Third, we have no idea what the longterm effects will look like across a population - just because people don't die from it right now does not mean there aren't risks of shortened lifespan and lowered quality of life.
I respect your right to have a differing opinion, but as far as they go, yours is a very strong opinion that you are too confident in without sufficient evidence.
