That's what always struck me. Sure the majority are old but they're still dying from COVID not from something else, also there's a significant number that aren't old and if we do nothing because the most at risk portion are already old we're going to lose a lot that aren't. We spend massive amounts of money keeping the elderly alive every day because we recognize that time is important and precious for these people and their families so we don't just dump them at 85 because "well you've outlived most of your cohort already anyways".
