Do you have a source for this? I'm not aware of any estimates that attribute almost 100% of US deaths to our poor public health response. That would imply that there was a realistic scenario in which we'd have roughly zero deaths. Though there are countries that managed this, I've yet to see any evidence that this is _entirely_ attributable to public health levers (and there are a few characteristics in common among many of them: many are small islands, many had been hit badly by pandemics in the past, almost all are East Asian, and IIRC none of them are large federal systems, a massive exogenous variable when it comes to governance). Or perhaps you're you're interpreting the parent comment overliterally? I understood it to mean that Coronavirus restrictions are safety theater, not that the virus itself is a fantasy.
