We had this conversation a few days ago. It sounds callous (and by no means accounts for the human cost of this pandemic) however the report based around typical death rates on a population level not individual level comments
“many people who die of COVID would have died anyway within a short period”
but
“So, roughly speaking, we might say that getting COVID-19 is like packing a year’s worth of risk into a week or two. Which is why it’s important to spread out the infections to avoid the NHS being overwhelmed.”
