How do you know that SARS-CoV-2 is fairly harmless

I have seen a number of reports over the last several months that human volunteers were intentionally infected with the virus to test treatments etc. in various studies and countries. Would humans be used as guinea pigs or like lab mice, if the virus was really dangerous?

See e.g. this U.S. National Institutes of health website:
Volunteer for COVID-19 Clinical Trials

Plus, 50-60% of all infected have no symptoms, another 20-30% have only mild symptoms, and, most unusual, children/teenagers are little affected!
