If your under 60 its really really small, your just as likely to die from one of many other causes.
Deaths so far are 0.097% of the population, and only 5% of those were under 60 (so 0.0049 %).
In total, there were 12,303 deaths across England and Wales in the week ending 4 December 2020, of which 23.0% involved COVID-19. [* ONS]
The British Heart Foundation reported not long ago that deaths from heart and circulatory diseases alone have risen by almost 5,000 this year. Partly because of the fear instilled into people, making them delay getting treatment (as well as the actual delays getting to see a doctor).
Those that dont like christmas can go hide in the corner and sulk, good riddance.
I love it, I intend to enjoy it, and I have no time for doom mongers trying their best to spoil it.
