That has not been my observation, it seems to me that it has been other individuals making a "think of the old people" argument. Now that is anecdotal but I have not heard many of the elderly I know voice fear over the situation. Concern maybe but not fear. It also helps to frame what we term as old I am not talking about someone in their 60's still fit and able to enjoy life. My frame of reference has been my very elderly grandparents and the friends that they have left. I have heard more complaints about loneliness from them than fear of death. Now I have heard them express that they would rather not go out by COVID as it seems like a pretty crappy way to go. I don't think anyone ever truly gets over the fear of the process of death. I know that while I do not fear it, if I imagine myself burning to death or falling to my death in a plane crash with other people around me screaming in futility. I can give myself that oh crap I hope I does not go down like that feeling, but that is different than being terrified of being dead.
