Say there is a 1 in 10 chance of death from a virus. My partner suggested that between the two of us, we would have a higher chance of one of us dying. I don’t agree and think that it is still a 1 in 10 chance. But I’m a bit thick when it comes to math…

It sounds like your partner and yourself are talking about two different things : you’re talking about your individual chance of dying, which would still be 1/10, and they’re talking about the chance that AT LEAST one of you dies (assuming you both catch it), which is higher than 1/10.
Everybody else has already explained the math so I just wanted to point this out.
