No they aren't. The probability of a healthy person dying from COVID is so low as to be statistically insignificant.

US stats: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Comorbidities
6% of deaths had no underlying health conditions.

UK stats: https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/covid19deathswithandwithoutpreexistingconditions
8.9% of deaths had no underlying health conditions.

Where are the age groups in those percentages? Saying that 6% of deaths (or 9%, it doesn't matter) has no underlying health conditions and not taking into account the age is, simply, distorting the truth:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsinvolvingcovid19englandandwales/deathsoccurringinmay2020

So you mean that those 6% (or 9%) were older than 60 in 99,9% of the cases and older than 80 also in the vast majority of cases. So those are they healthy persons dying from COVID. Healthy 80-something year-olds. The truth is that COVID mortality is no much different than flu mortality, here is another link for you:

To your knowledge: according to your parameters, "healthy" people also die of the flu. And it had never occurred to anyone to curtail freedoms and impose obligations everywhere because of it.
