Have you looked at hospitalization rates? That's the one that scares me more. Death rates don't give you a sense of how bad you can feel. I have two acquaintances who said they felt like dying during their infection and were close to going to the hospital. Young, healthy guys.

Here in Canada, my age group has a 0.9% death rate due to COVID, but a 15% rate of hospitalization. Among my culture, we don't look at the numbers to say, "you only have a 0.9% chance of dying", but we say, "you have a 15% chance of being close to death".

I don't want a 15% chance of being on a ventilator, or like my friend who survived, but said he felt like he was drowning with every breath for 2 weeks.
