No, that is inaccurate. If you are young and healthy the risk of mortality is extremely low. It is serious for everyone because we need to stop the spread to protect the vulnerable (mainly the elderly with co-morbidities)and prevent the healthcare system from collapsing. If you are young(ish) and healthy there is a near 0 risk of death. A study done in Italy and the UK showed a mortality rate of 0.1-0.2% for those aged 20-29, 0.4-0.6 for those aged 30-39. Among those who have died from Covid-19, only 1% of those people had no co-morbidities. Which means, if you have no risk factors your risk of dying from covid are less than the numbers I posted above.
Edit: Not to mention that these numbers come from confirmed cases, so the mortality rate is almost definitely much lower.
