Sure, it can. But its very unlikely.
0.2% chance of death for 30 year olds is roughly the same as a 30 year old's chance of dying in any given year.

Yeah sure. a month, a year, a decade. How much of my life are you willing to steal?
The fatality rate for octogenarians is 15%. Octogenarians also have a 10% chance of dying every year anyway. At 18 months of lockdown 15% of them are dead anyway and you took a single digit percentage of my life away

This state of affairs is not life. I would kill myself if we have to do this for a year.

When are we just going to admit that our choices are:
1) indefinite lockdown 2) everyone gets the virus
Between a 0.5% chance of dying, and life imprisonment, I'd take my chances.
