The consequences of Covid19 are misleading, although certainly the mortality rate is low and the infection rate is increasing, since as you have said, people do not feel threatened and therefore become its transmitters. The problem itself is that the virus promotes other conditions that the person has and these end up dying from them and these deaths are not attributed to it. Certainly the virus is here to stay and hopefully will not end up passing on to us those who invaded the planet in the novel War of the Worlds.
