You are correct. However; the virus has statistically had a much greater negative impact on those with underlying conditions such as obesity, COPD, etc. as well as those who are of advanced age.
Everyone is not at the same risk of dying, being hospitalized, or even showing symptoms the way we are being conditioned to believe by being shown raw death/infection numbers with no context.
Those who are in the higher-risk buckets like the person who is the subject of this story, should exercise greater diligence in protecting themselves. Meanwhile; the rest of us should be able to examine the information, evaluate the risk for ourselves, and continue to live a normal life without these over-reaching restrictions under which we are now forced to live.

Very few people who became infected expected that they would get it. Although I’d count the urge to dismiss every case by going on non-stop tortured health-sin scavenger hunts (”well, his great granduncle was known to like an occasional cigar!”) as an obvious sign of being in denial, that’s completely ignoring that those who become infected - no matter their health (or whatever perceived health sins) - become carriers of a highly contagious disease.
As I said, diseases don’t care, they just latch on to whatever’s passing by and keep on going that way, ad infinitum.
