Not to be rude, but how many people died in the process? There is a reason Taiwan had less than 20 deaths in the first year of the pandemic and still have less

Not to be rude, but how many people died in the process? There is a reason Taiwan had less than 20 deaths in the first year of the pandemic and still have less than 1000 in a country of 20 million while never having a lockdown. It's only absurd if you don't value people's lives over things like convenience.
