As I pointed out elsewhere, you're ignoring that Covid-19 is highly infectious, meaning that lots of people get it. Low fatality rates with wildly infectious diseases still mean lots of people dieing.

Of course, as others point out, there's also the enormous strain on the hospital system. Which, I am very curious: are you not aware of what has been going on with the NYC hospitals? Or parts of Italy?
