The death rate may be low but when millions of people are infected, even a low death rate produces lots of dead people. Look at the USA & UK, amongst thehighest number of deaths in arguably two of the most advanced countries in the world.

The problem is when so many people are sick, the hospital system can't cope with that many simultaneous cases and those who are genuinely at risk of dying from COVID and other diseases don't get the treatment they need fast enough.

So something that will slow the spread down to a manageable level and reduce the level of sickness in those who do still get it actually helps everyone.
