  The mode was in the 85 and over. The mean was less. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-age-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-... https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/too-young-die-age-and-death-covid-19-around-globe https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/too-young-die-ag... You will note that for the US, approximately 25% of the excess deaths in 2021 were from people 64 and younger. That is still a large number. Also note: > And among high income countries, one notable outlier is the United States, which has a much younger profile of deaths than its income-level would suggest. That hit minorities, lower income, and "essential workers" harder than other areas. These are the people who are cleaning rooms and working hospitality and service sectors.

    Which doesn't even mention the fact that many people can't afford to retire at 65 or had to come our of retirement to work

      The stereotypical housekeeping staff is the trifecta of minority, older, and low income.
