The Stock Market’s Heartless Optimism

Also, don't forget that COVID-19 doesn't have to kill you to be life changing. Even those who have recovered often experience long lasting or permanent damage.

The death toll is definitely higher than that. We only count fatalities if they tested positive. Yet there is still a huge shortage of tests and coroners and doctors have complained that the few tests available are reserved for the living and they can't test those who have died of suspected, but not confirmed cases.
Also, 15% to 30% of tests give false negatives. Meaning some who died but were tested and came back negative, actually did die of COVID-19.
Additionally, there's been a huge increase in strokes and deaths in seemingly healthy young people. You've failed to address all that.
The Battle Is On
I believe things will get worse before they get better. and it will be a long time before things get better.
Most vaccines take 20 years to develop (the fastest ever still took 4 years). The World Health Organization said immunity may not be possible, experts say Covid-19 has mutated to be 30 unique strains and that the virus is here to stay. Next year we will have a flu season and a coronavirus season simultaneously.
I see little hope for optimism.
