That's not me mad. That's me being snarky.
It isn't overreach. I fact, in terms of stringency
Australia probably isn't doing enough.
97.01% in Australia, as of yesterday. So for every 100 cases, three people die. There were 295 cases in Australia yesterday.
Your math is awful. In the US, COVID-19 has now killed 0.19% of the population. And continues to kill better than 3000 people per week. With a case fatality rate of 1.7% (as of July, per John Hopkins data).
Also, consider both the short term and long term health implications of COVID-19.
In the immediate term, some emergency rooms and ICU wards are now so full that some hospitals are starting to turn people away. Elective/non-emergency surgeries are being cancelled.
In the short term, as many as 50% of people who contract COVID-19 will suffer some other comorbidity that will outlast the virus (for instance, I have two friends with potentially permanent scarring of their lungs).
In the long term, its looking like COVID-19 leads to a large number (probably better than 15%) of people who suffered it ending up with serious, chronic diseases.
Get off that high horse, you're only making yourself a target.

Also, neither of those are novel viruses, with an airborne transmission vector, transmission by asymptomatic sufferers and the potential for exponential transmission growth.
