You say that but apparently if the case mortality rate of 1 to 2% is roughly accurate and this virus becomes endemic, it's possible that it would overtake cancer and heart disease as global leading cause of death.

Plenty of other things to worry about

As long as it is the immuno compromised, is there an issue? It is not like the spanish flu that killed healthy people by over stimulating the immune response.
