Just to be That Guy, the risk isn't evenly distributed. Nobody has a 3% chance of dying; you either have much more or much less.

No, but the chance of getting serious but non-lethal secondary effects from COVID may be more evenly distributed. Young people are less likely to die but they still get blood clots, brain fog, myocarditis, and other loving term effects.

That's still the population's chance. Your chance may very well be 100% - you just don't know until you contract the disease.
