The mental health issues for the future from people wearing the masks .
Should a guy be upset right now if some reporter spits into his microphone and then stuck it close to your face?
The real numbers of dead we will never know . The people that died from not getting their surgeries. The people that were not diagnosed with cancer and treated . The people with addictions that overdosed or made them worse . The people that were locked up with abusive partners . The mental health issues for the future from people wearing the masks . The people that have lost their life savings . The buinesses that went under . The big one is the huge deficit that will cause high taxes in the near future . The money that will be taken away from our health care system .
The cure I predict will far out weigh the sickness .

All valid points but without a parallel universe for comparison it's armchair quarterbacking at best.
Many of the things you mention are pre-existing conditions that should have been dealt as soon as they came up with but everyone assumed that no major event was going to happen. Assume = Ass out of U and me. Too late now.

It saved lives and it cost lives. That is where analysis of excess deaths comes in. You can't track each individual case but you can compare the number of people that died this years to historical numbers of people that died.All valid points BUT . Many were not pre-existing . How do you diagnose cancer with out doctors . Many peoples surgeries were put on hold . How many died from not getting them . It is very short sighted to think the lock down saved lives not cost lives . I was in the hospitals that were empty .
They create fear . Yet do nothing for your safety . There are no standards for theses masks. So the people that implemented these rules know they are not for safety but control.
Number of Dead: Correct. Will never know the exact number, due to people not being tested, or no tests available, poor countries, etc.
Not Getting Surgeries: BS. If you had a surgery that was life necessary, you got it done. Period (Period).
Not Getting Diagnosed with Cancer: You feel lousy enough, you go get checked. If positive, then you get your treatments. Period (here in Canada). You don't get checked, your own fault. And yes. My immediate family has had cancer run rampant. I am decently well versed in the system about it.
People with Addictions: Treatment was always available like before. You choose not to get help, so be it.
People with Abusive Partners: I do feel sorry for them. But as with most things, there is help readily available. Police calls. Shelters. Family. Etc.
Mental Health from Wearing Masks: WTF? Seriously? Only people who have mental health issues from masks are the ones refusing to wear them, and that's a choice they are making.
People Losing Life Savings: Help is available. Sure, if you've got an extravagant life style and spend out the wazoo, well, you should have rolled back the spending. CERB is there. Every bit helps. Me, I lost my job shortly before beginning COVID. I've put out 270 applications for jobs in my field. Unfortunately, each one has 300+ applicants according to LinkedIn etc. So, I hustle and do whatever I can to make money. Temp jobs at friend's businesses, helping renovations at acquaintances homes etc etc.
Businesses that Went Under: I feel for them. Friend of mine's store went under. They are truly getting the short end of the stick.
Huge Deficit: Agreed. It's gonna suck. But, it's either that, or watch more people rely on CERB and the system to stay afloat.
Money Taken Away From Health Care: Cite proof please.
Fear....from a mask? Do these people keep lights on at night in case of the boogeyman?

It is being reported on. I posted a link today on excess deaths in the US and the breakdown by ethic group.No one will report on this . The media is paid for by the government . They won't bite the hand that feeds them .
I see people cross the road when I walk towards then . I see people with masks on in their cars,while walking alone.and while riding bicycles . Do you think this is normal behavior and rational .
normal right now...yes
rational right now....yes
