Actually that is a good thing. THE GDP will be impacted far less if all the mortality is in the elderly. ESPECIALLY if the morbidity is. The cost of one patient surviving with renal failure is going to be pretty high and if there would have been a lot of them that were young it would be a real tragedy.

When the corona virus disproportionally hits the elderly it will improve financial status of the Social Security Trust Fund as well as the Pension Plans of the State and Local governments.
Yeah, I get a real warm and fuzzy feeling about your ‘good thing’
But since I am over 70, well it could still be a tragedy for me.
