...how many were truly excess deaths.

Excess?

I think we still get just one per person.

We ALL gonna die from something!

Look how many are claimed to croak from second hand smoke - why aren't we in lockdown over THOSE numbers?

Secondhand smoke causes approximately 7,330 deaths from lung cancer and 33,950 deaths from heart disease each year. Between 1964 and 2014, 2.5 million people died from exposure to secondhand smoke, according to the 2014 report from the U.S. Surgeon General.

The only question is how "premature" our death will be. We don't have to die before age 50 from a car crash even if the "statistics" say we have a 1% chance, same as coronavirus. The virus is a little less controllable by us as individuals, but still controllable. We can avoid coughing or yelling people.

But any death before age 100 or so is premature. As you say "ALL gonna die from something!" There is no magic government solution to prevent premature death. There are steps we can take as individuals to help our fellow humans. Don't shout at people, breathe through your nose, and most of all, don't go out when you are sick.
