You should take your own advice. 1500 deaths out of 4000 positive tests means about one out every three people testing positive will die! We can argue about whether the actual rate is 1.8% or just under 1% but it sure isn't 37.5%!

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
