It will pass, relax. Be positive.
You still don't seem to understand. This isn't about how many people will 'die' from the virus. It is about the capacity of the health system. If too many people catch the virus, then hospitals will be overwhelmed which will lead to many deaths, even ones completely unrelated to the virus. Do you understand that more patients than beds is a bad thing?
