I do not believe that covid 19 kills 5% of the people who contract it.

I do not believe the numbers you are referring to are accurate.

Edit to add that I think what we are seeing reported is number of cases confirmed through testing. But the reality which has been widely acknowledged is that cases are being unreported, possibly greatly. Even now testing is limited, and for months there was almost no testing at all outside of hospitals treating very sick patients.
When the data is compiled and antibody testing is done on larger numbers of people the lethality rate will be much lower.
It doesn't mean it is not serious.
