The 1/2000 could be valid for your age group (we will need to check the real number of people who caught it be sure of the IFR) but is not necessary accurate for you (could be more or less).

In France, in Marseilles, they studied all people who died from covid in the hopsital during the first episode. They calculated the Charlson score for each patient. What they found is that very large majority of people who died have a low life expectancy and all expect 2 patients have one or more co-morbidities (cancer, diabetes, etc).

So if you are healthy then you real risk is below the average of the same age group.
