Its not just the death rate, it's the hospitalization ratio and the length of being out in bed.

Correct. The death rate doesn’t really matter. What matters is no herd immunity, high r0 and the percent of cases that are severe. I’d also add that human error and the inexplicable need to not sound alarmist and to conform to peer pressure is another huge factor. Nobody wants to take responsibility.
