The dissonance comes from three aspects:
1) people selfishly reason from their point of view: "there is a 2% chance I'll die". But it is more than 10% for those aged 70+.
2) people don't think systemic and forget second-order effect s. If the health system can't handle everyone being sick at the same time, it's not 2% but much more. Moreover, anyone requiring intensive care will be subject to triage, not just Corona cases.
3) people forget the health impact after healing (diminished lung functions due to fibrosis, etc)
