Yes, and that 84% only account for just 30% of the deaths. If you're not really old (53% of deaths in Ohio have been 80+ years old despite only being 2-2.5% of the Ohio population) or already medically compromised, you're statistically pretty okay. Roughly 50% of positive cases have been asymptomatic, with 10-19-year-olds having an 80% asymptomatic rate and it getting lower as you're older.

There's some outliers, but if you're not really old and not medically compromised, you're pretty much going to be fine.

Still should wear a mask for those who are old or medically compromised and to help stop the spread, but the vast majority of the country aren't at serious risk.
