I have no idea where you got your 2-3% fatality rate for COVID from but it's way off the mark. That is the CFR in certain high risk circumstances but the known IFR of the virus after nearly 2 years of study and data collation has been fairly reasonably established by multiple health agencies. Not surprised by the numbers you use though... CDC Best estimates as of March 2021, For all but the very oldest population segments it's well below 1% across all age groups that are not very elderly. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...
Or if you prefer Germany, where the most recently estimated fatality rate even for those 50 - 79 doesn't exceed 1%. It's much lower for those below this age range. https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-021-11127-7 https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s...
Many other sources back up these findings across multiple countries.
