This poster, Graciegirl, ago 80, previous pre-school teacher and card carrying mother and grandmother asks OP this question in a different way.

What percentage of people who are hospitalized for Covid-19 die.

By age.

Thank you.
In terms of this virus:

I can tell you that I'm in my mid 50's, reasonably healthy and rarely get sick. I don't worry so much about me or my husband.

I have a healthy older teen and 20 something. I do not worry about them.

I have family members in their 80's+ and those are the folks that I worry about. I do not think that your concerns are misplaced and I do think that you are wise to take precautions.
