Because that's what it causes in many cases and leaves your lungs crippled or you leave this world...Severe pneumonia..And it's not always the case of people with other underlying health issues...
As for Spain, i would be very cautious about booking winter hols since scientists are warning that the 2nd wave of Covid-19 will be far more dangerous and long lasting in Oct/Nov given the fact that it will coincide with the seasonal flu..And we all know it's too soon to be hoping for an effective vaccine, aside from the possible mutations that it won't cover..What we can hope for, though, is effective medication..
Summer season is practically cut in half this year and that goes for countries who've handled the covid situation far better than Italy, Spain or France and have had not many cases and few deaths in comparison..That would be Malta, Cyprus, Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria,Israel and eastern european countries plus Austria..I can't imagine people rushing to book for vacation in Italy or Spain very soon..But all countries will primarily rely on domestic tourism, since there's no co-ordinated lift of restrictions and dates will differ for the start of flights from/to each country..Surprisingly (or not) nordic countries and the Baltics have also handled this very well, with the possible exception of Sweden, depending on personal view and perspective (although nowhere near Spain,Italy,France,UK,Germany etc)..
