If you are 70 and get Covid-19 you have a 90% chance of recovering. You make it sound like you have a 90% chance of dying which is an extreme exaggeration.

- catalogia 6y agoIn 2017, a 70 year old American man had a 2.2% chance of dying that year and on average was expected to live another 14 years. I'm curious how the average life expectancy of a 70 year old has changed from that year to this one. Is it down to 13 years yet?
- Aeolun 6y agoYou are right, for some reason I was under the impression that COVID-19 was much more lethal to older people. I think because of the early cohort in Japan, of which most 70+ people ended up deceased.
