0.25% is what the preprint says for overall infection fatality rate -- 1 in 400 probability of dying if you are infected.
And for the 2017-2018 flu season, the odds of dying from it were 1 in 5400. [2]

The overall odds that you have died from corvid-19 this season so far in the US are 1 in 2433 (based on 411 deaths per Million population at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ).
Often the "not horrible odds" argument is made by someone being dismissive of folks who are following health orders -- I still look both ways if I cross the street.
Literally, by spouting your 1/2433 odds, you being disingenuous for most people. A person could greatly reduce their personal odds by taking extra vitamins and eating healthy and getting good sleep, entirely without wearing a mask.
Your street crossing example is an example of you following a health order for your own personal safety. You could simply use the crosswalk without looking - that would be you relying on others to wear their mask to ensure your personal safety.
When you make your personal safety dependent on my goodwill, I'm going to let you fall, hard.
Your point seems to be that folks should not follow health orders since the odds are good for most people, and that you will do your part to make sure folks will get what they deserve?
People haven't worried about flu death rates or (insert other disease) death rates before. Why should I go out of my way to protect someone who won't protect themselves by staying home locked away from the world?
After I recovered from my COVID, why should I wear a mask if I'm COVID antibody positive? To make you feel better?
