The problems seems to start when the symptoms are bad enough to get to the hospital--that's seems to be where the death danger begins. Luckily, even a good chunk of hospital bound people seem to recover.
The real problem starts once the number of infected is so high that hospitals will simply be overwhelmed and the percent recovery goes down. And so far the US (and other places) haven't been doing a great job testing and containing people with the increase remaining exponential. The worry is about the future situation because once we get there hospitals WILL be overwhelmed. That's the real worry.
A lot of us I'm sorry worry more about our elderly relatives than about ourselves, too, given that they won't have a flu shot and immunity as a safety "blanket" of sorts.
