I think virtually anyone would rather die of cancer 10 years from now than die of covid19 10 days from now.

Except that for the vast majority of those who get infected either don't know it or only manifest mild symptoms. A small percentage develop more complicated symptoms that may require hospitalization but no real threat of death. The main demographic that are dying are 70+ aged with multiple conditions that would die if they got a cold or the common flu or even a bad allergy. In ten years people are going to look back at this and say what was all the fuss about.
