This meme is mostly false.
Viral Truths
COVID-19 statistics are far from complete, but the best evidence in hand suggests a survival rate of about 99%.

But a virus that kills 1% of the folks it infects is, in fact, “evil.” So, the meme’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” public health advice clearly rings false.
