Being 70 yo makes you high risk wrt Covid, but it doesn’t mean you have a life expectancy of 6-12 months. You must confuse with terminally ill cancer patients.

You must confuse with terminally ill cancer patients.
Where are your numbers coming from?
- smeej 4y ago"High risk," yes, but when they were reporting on people who were actually dying of covid, for most of the first year, the data was that it was people with comorbidities, people who already had significant health conditions. It wasn't the 70yo marathoners who were dying. It was the ones who had CHF or COPD and obesity who were. (OF COURSE there are exceptions to this, but the majority of people who were dying were not otherwise healthy.)
