Did you take it seriously when people like my mother died from complications from the H1N1 virus - in Nov. 2009?

Do you take it seriously when someone like a member of my neighbor’s family died from the actions of a drunk driver? I take anyone’s death as being serious! Why the heck is a Covid death any different? All of the deaths I mentioned above could have been prevented with government mandated - face masks, condoms, prohibition of alcohol - my goodness - please realize people are dying every day from things - that could have been prevented with extreme govt. intervention. Why are you just thinking we should take an illness like Covid serious - when - in fact - the number of deaths due to Covid are so far below many other deaths that are equally or more serious?
