[But Bubonic Plague killed a third of Europe and (so far) COVID-19 has killed about 6500 worldwide, so I don’t seem them as comparable.]

It’s not the Black Plague. It’s dangerous, but we know where it comes from and how it spreads. Even if we were to do what the butflubros want and ignore it, it wouldn’t kill as high a proportion of the population. It might kill more people in absolute terms, but 13 out of 14 of us would still be here.
