This math is wrong, you should think of it as getting a flu but ten times worse that also gives you a permanent heart condition. And remember that the flu is already ten times worse than you think it is, because the last thing you thought was a flu was just a cold.
Perhaps we should think of it as getting SARS-Cov-2 and as much as 1/3 of people don't even know they're infected.
Unhealthy people are often really hit hard, the most vulnerable have a substantial risk of death.
But an overwhelming number of healthy people are fine, and given the prolonged disruption of normal life, those people suffer vast consequences from interventions that outweigh catching the virus.
Children especially are being sacrificed for the elderly and chronically ill.
