I can't follow the argument. The Hong Kong Flu caused more deaths without the economy shutting down than this epidemic with the economy shutting down, therefore what?

The shutdown looks like it will lead to both epidemics having roughly the same amount of deaths. Unless you think the shutdown had minimal effect, without it the death rate would be far worse than the Hong Kong Flu.
