At this point in the arc of the pandemic, I agree with you. And this was basically what our local health department director was saying. By and large this is nothing more than a cold for most people and we have mitigation strategies, vaccines, and anti-virals for those who aren't "most people." He is a proponent of moving to "living with COVID."

Gluten free since Nov '11 after non-celiac gluten sensitive diagnosis. Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
