I agree. But my concern is that
any death (or indeed illness, because of the effects you mention) from Covid is becoming unacceptable, especially amongst the young. I am also concerned that people are being led to believe that a vaccine available next year will be a
cure.
For many, the risk of death or long-term illness (
according to David Spiegelhalter) is much lower than other risks we accept every day.
The key is to stop it spreading from these to those who have a much higher risk from the illness. We do that by finding who has the illness, isolating them and their contacts and supporting their income and make sure their jobs are secure. Without this, many people cannot afford to do the right thing.
I'm not sure if that risk is still significantly lower than other acceptable risk factors, but Spiegelhalter has also said that most of those who have died so far had a high-risk of dying this year of other illnesses.
