An acquaintance of our family died, mid 60's, and to be fair, he did have co-morbidities, a bit overweight, history of alcoholism, and some other things. But covid definitely was the trigger for his hospital stay, and contributed to his death.
At the same time, a family member of mine is overweight, has copd, diabetes, and more, caught it, and if I thought anyone would die from it that I knew it would be them, survived it.
I spent days sleeping in the same room with my spouse while we thought she had a cold, but eventually she tested positive for covid. I never caught it.
Its weird how it works. Im no denier or anything, its real, people are dying, etc. At the same time, it's not nearly as bad as we thought from the get-go, its being politicized as well, and if you are high-risk your ass should just stay home while the rest of us live our lives.
