Though risk of death is higher relative to age and health status at time of infection.
Hi Zed. Last I read, 1% of those over 65 --I presume this was USA only, not sure--- died from Covid related infections.
Ive had all Covid vaccinations, and to best of my knowledge Ive not had Covid yet. That is surprising to some considering my work environment, where sometimes { once or twice a day } I was not masked and relatively near coworkers.

Ive heard of few stories from coworkers, who knew people with Covid infections that had died or resultant complications.
I have two friends { over 65 years of age } who had heart complications months after Covid infection. Ive not talked to them personally so I got this info from my wife and other friends of mine who friends of those persons. That was a year or so ago. More recently { last few months } there was a spread of Covid in my area, and most of my friends reported terrible headaches and at least one of them has had extended issues. She is over 65.
Again, I moved out of my house at beginning of Covid and into $2,000. RV behind wife's/our house, so as not to infect my wife --should I get infected at work-- who has life long asthma, high blood pressure, and had mild stroke few years back and couple of health issues. That move cost me/her about $6,000. in total.
We still hang out together and for most part Ive always masked in house with her, except when Covid infections dropped way off a year and half or so ago. Plus on some occasions we have tested before times were going to be together for extended periods of time --ex vacation etc---.
Ive had one very bad flu infection some 25 years ago, with high temperature, body/head aches and no sleep for 3 days --- by myself with wife gone away at the time and firewood stove to maintain for warmth as it was middle of winter---. Another cold or flu maybe 15 years ago that put me out of work and in bed or resting for 5 days cause I had no energy. I dont recall high fever, however, I do remmber the first day I drove my truck again to get some materials for a construction job, I was so happy { tho still subdued energy levels } to be able to drive a all.
Some 40 years ago I had ..." The medical name is Shigella sonnei, but it's one of the germs that causes shigellosis — otherwise known as “Delhi belly” or “Montezuma's revenge.” Many international travelers are sadly familiar with the stomach cramps, diarrhea and nausea that can ruin a vacation or business trip."..
Tho not mentioned in this blurb, I had high temp for a day during this event. So, other than measles, mumps and chicken pox as a child, the above is my worst sick days that come to mind. With viral on two occasions and bacteria one.
Finally, I just had a total reverse shoulder replacement so I certainly did not any viral or bacteria infections before, or near time of surgery, or even now { two weeks out from the surgery and living in this old shack of a house }. Tho it is not winter and I now use electric and propane { if very cold } heat. I have firewood stove { not connected } if worse came to worse.
Currently the big issue is township is in drought and we're be asked to conserve water. Yikes! No fresh water is becoming larger issue globally. Yikes! And were not in a war zone like Ukraine or Gaza.
