During covid, my mom, in her 60s, was talking to her father, in his 80s. He told her the people he was really concerned about during this pandemic were "the elderly"! She laughed and pointed out to him that his daughter was old enough to be considered high risk due to age, but he said he had a neighbor who was 104, so those are "the elderly" he was really worried about. I think your sense of "old" also has a lot to do with the people you know! (FWIW, both grandpa and his neighbor survived covid. Grandpa's still healthy as a horse as he sneaks up on 90, but his neighbor has since passed away peacefully.)
