Tell it to the NHS staff who would be overwhelmed within weeks. This isn't the flu. The flu doesn't overwhelm hospitals and cause the need to refrigerated trucks to hold the bodies. You're talking about the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Surely people aren't this thick to think we need to "get on with it".
No, it's not flu. But a tough version of flu kills 25,000 people a year most years. Most of them are nearing the end of their natural span regardless. But all of us see the loss of mum or dad or an older friend as the one who needed more, to spare our tears. I really don't want to sound flippant, but we all die eventually. It's a tragedy when a young fit person collapses and succumbs to an unsuspected condition.
For my mum or dad, now 85 and 87, or DMIL, at 91 with dementia, I would just hope it can be sudden and painless. I will mourn, of course, but I won't be surprised.
What I shall not say, is that anything more should have been done. I will not blame the system for missing symptoms, or for failing to prescribe an expensive but promising new drug at £10K per month, or not suggesting a risky experimental procedure... unless it's so high risk that cases are needed for research. And DM and DMIL, both nurses, would back me to the hilt.
