Terrorism very broadly kills a couple hundred people a year in the developed world, and has been around that for a long time. Obviously it's a bogus excuse most of the time.

Meanwhile, this particular virus has correspondingly killed ~10 000 times more people. That is not hyperbole. That's not even comparable to terrorism, much more like a war instead.

How many people died of the flu this year?

Perhaps somewhat paradoxically, much fewer than usual. Partly because some that might have, in stead died from Covid-19, and partly because the countermeasures against SARS-CoV are also very effective against a lot of other diseases like the flu.

Why; does that have anything to do with anything? Naah, thought not.
