The initial claim was that two million would die if we left it unchecked, i.e. if we did nothing and carried on as usual, trusting sick or vulnerable people to self-isolate on their own. Not being complete idiots, we didn't do that. We shut a bunch of stuff down, ordered people to stay home, and generally tried hard to not leave it unchecked. Naturally, taking enormous precautions is cutting the projected death toll by a massive amount. That's the whole point of doing this.
Of course taking precautions will have a positive effect. But why the inflated death counts and over-reporting?
