The current death total from CV19 is 26, which is 3.2 per 100,000. 70% of those who have died are over 70, and have co-morbidity factors - namely ( diabetes, obesity, heart disease, asthma ) which reduces the odds a normal person in generally good health will die. What we need to worry about is the immense overreach government has taken and is not going to slowly let go.
Check your statistics. If the daily death rate is 16 per 1,000, we would all be dead in three months.
