Overall the (incomplete) data so far leads to the virus making immunocompromised or otherwise weakened people go critical very quickly, but is very rarely directly responsible of causing death by itself.

Unfortunately many countries downplayed risks and consequences on the sanitary system, and still are, considering how quickly they wish to reopen. However, quarantining is creating a lot of collateral damage as well. It's a no-win situation.
