This calculation is wrong. While the average 77 years old person will live 10.2 years, it’s not founded and unlikely the people dying from Covid at that age are distributed uniformly.
Most likely a 77 yo dying of Covid is in worse health and have more co morbidities than the average 77 yo.
This calculation is interesting and a good way to look at things, but it requires more nuance that is likely to reduce those numbers.
