Are you seriously implying that the only negative outcome is death?
Some people have long term side effects. Even if you fully recover if you have a bad case you could be out of work for a long period of time. The negative impact is significantly higher on the poor who can't afford health insurance or to take time off.
Stop looking at death and look at the total impact.

Lockdowns have also had a high negative impact on the poor around the world by preventing them from working and earning income. Hunger is more dangerous to many of those people than COVID-19.
