There is widely varying death rates between countries though, which points to the fact that reacting differently, taking different actions for different lengths of time is a significant factor in what those death rates end up being. Just the sheer act of pushing infections later makes that hospital overrun less likely, pushes those infections into warmer weather which means less of them happen at once given the probable impact that has on spread. It also pushes us into a timeframe where we have, as we do now, at least slightly better treatment options so that we can save more people as well as having more ventilators, etc. .
The comparisons can shed light on all these realities.
