1% is a small number.
0.19% of total population have died from Covid in total
0.25% die from cancer every year (and that will increase on this year as cancer sufferers have been sacrificed due to Covid)
of the "known" infections 4.93 million 128K have died, that's a mortality rate of 2.6% (and that's a bottom end estimate as there will have been millions infected and not tested. You could probably half that easily and more.)
367K get cancer every year and 166K die. that's a mortality rate of 45%.
I know what I would be scared of getting.
No matter what way you try to carve it up. COVID still is a relatively mild infection, that still mainly affected the elderly and those with co-morbidities and kills a very small % of those it infects, and now with Vaccines offering 90%, and other anti-viral and anti-inflammatory treatments that are available the chances of very serious illness and death is low, in fact they're at rates as low as the "flu" yes, I said it again.
