Yes, "probably" and "might'. The truth is that without having an alternate reality in which we did *nothing* to compare our current world to, we can't actually know what any of our actions accomplished. The panic, fear, political divide, PTSD, economic instability, disregard for the law (and more) that have come from this pandemic are also very destructive. It's "possible" that had we simply continued life as normal, the world would be in a better place.
People have died. They'll continue to die. Some from the flu, some from COVID. Most from heart attacks, cancer, stroke, diabetes. Some small number will even die from looking down at the screen to enable the windshield defrosters post v11.
