You and many others always gloss over this very important point. If there's anything we knew early on, it was that the vast majority of people getting gravely ill from COVID and/or dying were those of a certain population.
It was true at the start, and it's true now.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, but that doesn't change the fact that any young, healthy person who dies from COVID is an extreme outlier.
It just doesn't happen, relatively speaking. If you don't believe me, just look up any COVID stat you'd like from any accredited institution, be it the CDC, or any other place that tracks such stats.
You don't base public health policy on outliers.
I have had many friends and family members come down with COVID. Thankfully, all of them were fairly healthy to begin with, and none were elderly. None of them described their experience as anything more than you'd see with the common cold or flu.
(80% of COVID deaths in the USA were 65 or older....95% were 50 or older...this DESPITE the fact that the MAJORITY of COVID positives are reported in people UNDER 50)
