Maybe this could help with family and friends.

In the US, there have been about 804,000 fatalities where covid was on the death certificatee, out of about 330MM people.

However, per CDC, about 94% of the death certificates had more than one comorbidity like diabetes, heart disease, etc. Thus, about 48,240 fatalities came purely from COVID19 or roughly 27,600 fatalities a year.

That means there is a roughly 1-in-12,000 chance of dying from COVID19 each year.

By contrast, there is a 1-in-8,393 chance of dying in a car crash annually.

In other words, there is greater risk of dying in the car ride to the Christmas Celebration than in the Celebration itself.

Now, that's math. You can't fake math.

I doubt it'll help, but it can't hurt.

Actually, that helps answer a question I had about the mortality rate of Covid in a 66 year old with no comorbidities.
