These measures will absolutely prevent a significant number of people from dying. Does it matter if that population is not 'most' people?

Smoking cigarettes is legal in California, as is splitting lanes on a motorcycle. There is risk inherent in living life.

Significant compared to what? By the metrics this is no different than flu season with lots of hysteria lumped on.

Just FYI - the best case scenario is a CFR of 10x the flu. All those stupid "Over 20,000 people die from the flu every year, so don't worry" posts are going to look really bad if 200,000 people die.
