In the early 20th century people died a lot more often from pneumonia than they do now. The same will probably be true of the early 22nd century.
The nervousness is natural, but it only means we have a lot of work to do so that we're able to cope with that scenario when it arrives. More spiritual and social work than scientific or medical work, I would suggest, though low-tech medicine will definitely help more than our continuing escalation of a high-tech medical infrastructure which can only hope at best to survive for the super rich at the expense of the wider population.
