So a family of 4 has a 1/250 chance of losing someone in the next 6 months.

Those really aren’t very good odds.

No, the chance of one persson in a family of four dying in the next six months is NOT 1 in 250. It is 1-(1-0.001)*4 = 3.94/1000.

WHO has a 1/1000 chance?

not me.

I’m 52 with no co morbid conditions.

A 90 year old with maybe a month to live? Yeah...very likely to die if he/she gets it.
