Claiming that the mortally rate because the majority of people are getting sick is an "invalid point" because not only did saloomy not provide any evidence - he's flat wrong only 31% of those catching it are 60+.
Similarly, 1/2 a million might die across the world from the flu every year is nothing compared to what this virus can do. It doesn't take a math degree to calculate that at an 80% infection rate and 1% Mortality rate (provided the hospitals aren't overwhelmed - otherwise it goes up to somewhere between 6-12 %) is WAY worse. 7.7 Billion * 80% = 6.16 billion infected. 6.16 * 1% = 616 million deaths.
This isn't a game where everyone's "opinion" is correct.
