The issue is that 55k deaths is the known known. The known unknown is the multiplier due to the lackadaisical handling of geriatric deaths by overworked/under-skilled coroners (large number aren't MEs or MDs). I imagine it could be 1.5-2x (say 80% confidence) but not 550k (10x) without a mountain of evidence.
