WHO says coronavirus death rate is 3.4% globally, higher than previously thought

So if you live in a country with good medical care, the likelihood of dying from the virus is probably around 1%. That means about 99% of people recover and do not have serious complications.

I have also read that mostly people with breathing and or heart problems succomb to the virus. Most people who are younger may not show symptoms or maybe only mild symptoms.

I have mild asthma. Its been bad at times, but mostly I take a preventative inhaler and a rescue inhaler when needed. And I'll be 48 in a couple weeks. I don't want to end up not being able to breathe!
