The force multiplier graph shows how the risk of death changes depending on age and the curve is remarkable flat. If you are unsure what it is showing: it is the ratio of the risk of death by/with Covid at a particular age to the risk of death without. As the risk of dying rises rapidly with age, the absolute effect of Covid is becoming larger because it multiplies a larger base value. So, it's affecting almost all adults the same way, it is just that the sick and elderly start from a much worse point.
Beside that I believe that Taleb knowns how to calculate a weighted average.
