The calculation I reference is the average remaining lifespan for people who die of COVID-19. The additional context doesn't make any difference, it just provides two additional (different) calculations: average remaining lifespan across the entire population: > we calculate that the 2020 American population of 330 million people has on average 45.8 y of remaining life expectancy, totaling 14.9 billion person years. reduction in remaining lifespan in the 70-89 age group: > Older individuals ages 70 to 89 y, taking those who die and those who survive together, would on average lose about 0.2 y of remaining life, and younger individuals would lose far less. I did not include these calculations because they are not comparable to the number to which I was responding.
