so when you next read comparisons of deaths this year and last

that's "whataboutery"? I didn't say corona deaths are not important. I said that comparisons with deaths in the blitz are not helpful. I also said, or implied, that in assessing the impact and significance of corona deaths, one would sensibly look at them in the context of deaths more generally. Hardly controversial, though less colourful than German bombing raids on London 80 years ago.
