I did the math and it looks like they are on track for about 94k deaths. Perhaps not statistically significant (I don’t know) but not indiscernible. More research into the numbers would be required to draw any firm conclusions. What I think is clear is that they were correct in their approach. There is nothing in the numbers that justifies the draconian policies implemented almost everywhere else.
Yeah, this whole thing was stupid. When we saw that the death rate wasn't even close to the best case projections and we didn't start opening back up I knew that the government was going to shit the bed on this one. As a great man once said "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.""
