"Deal a death blow" = giáng đòn tử -> nghĩa là đánh ai đó (bằng vũ khí) chết bất đắc kỳ tử, nghĩa khác là đột ngột dừng hoạt động cái gì.

Ví dụ
Trump is about as unpopular there as anywhere on the planet. Many fear that if he is re-elected, he would not only trash what's left of Berlin's ties with Washington but deal a death blow to the concept of the West itself.

However, the addition of new draconian (hà khắc) rules beyond those required to stem the spread of COVID-19 is capricious (thất thường), and may deal a death blow to already struggling bars.

The pandemic may deal a death blow to General Electric Company (GE), which has struggled for years to reform a bloated (phồng lên) organization and shed high debt. The company missed first quarter 2020 earnings estimates by a wide margin in April, reporting a 24.8% drop in year-over-year revenue, with all divisions except health care reporting losses.
