3.6% = 36 times that.

So no, not zero.
Again like every virus the very eldery or those with compromised immune sysms like every other virus are the most affected. You even provide an article that said that much. The official number reported to be affected in such manner 15% will experience sevre symptoms the vast majority in those categories.
