> many of the excess deaths were associated with central planning.
This is pretty obviously bad logic, you seem to be removing agency from Trump/Biden/Cuomo/Fauci. All of them in varying degrees made terrible decisions, waited too long to bother reacting, etc., and these were things the average person could easily guess would happen while good ideas were often left delayed or unexecuted.
Your rhetoric is nothing more than an attack on the concept of planning at all, which many countries did better just by having half a plan and going through with at least half the plan.
Planning is not a supernatural force that compelled our leaders to act poorly. They had agency and chose poorly.
