People here tried to use those examples as why we shouldn't mitigate, because we don't for them and they kill just as many people. It is then pointed out that they are not contagious.
Again, the comparison to war dead is just that: "Holy crap. This thing has killed more Americans in two months than Vietnam did in 10 years."

Neither are war deaths, so why compare? People were using Vietnam to further their argument to do more on clamping things down. Why can they use none contagious deaths for their argument but not the other side?
