At least 7 million people died as a very conservative estimate. Some estimates go as high as 30 million deaths. It’s the 4th most deadly epidemic/pandemic in the last millennia after the Black Death, Spanish flu, and HIV/AIDS. And that’s with all the lockdowns, social distancing measures and a truly groundbreaking rollout of vaccinations. There’s nothing overblown about that.
