No, we should not make any statistics that way. The mortality rate in this epidemic looks to be slightly over 3 per cent. Let us consider that in another way. If the preventive measures around the world succeed in reducing the amount of people who get the COVID by 50% and, say, "only" 500 thousand will be infected instead of one million, it would mean avoiding some 15 thousand deaths (3% of 500,000). Is it much? Decide for yourselves.
