> Something like 30,000 people died every year from the regular flu in the USA alone, before pandemic. Social distancing (and masks) would bring that number to close to 0. How many of that number are people dying with flu, as opposed to from flu? It wasn't long ago that pneumonia was called "old man's friend". Measures to coddle our immune system can also be counter productive. The flu season in the UK is feared to be bad this year, as people have spent so long without mixing.
