Odds are greater than not

The way you phrased it makes it sound like 51%. The odds are greater than 99% that you will survive COVID-19. It really sounds like you're the one putting bias ahead of reality.

If you're going to call COVID a lottery, then you should also call walking down the street a lottery, since you might get killed by a mugger. You could die any day you get in your car and go to work. Better sit in the dark (because if you use electricity, you might start a house fire) in your basement (in case a meteor hits your house) and wait to die of old age, because the whole world's dangerous.
