The chance of dying doesn’t have to be zero to be a non-vulnerable population. The odds of dying if you’re less than 60 or don’t have a comorbidity is less than 0.03% (and that number avalanches downward the younger you are).
Given that the general random chance of dying hovers around that number, the increased chance of dying from covid for the non-vulnerable groups is statistically insignificant.
Nearly nothing has a zero chance of happening but pragmatically it’s virtually impossible that a non-vulnerable person would die from it.
