I don’t know the average life expectancy in that part of the world, but I’m venturing a wild guess that it’s at or below 82.4.
Covid has been the most potent weapon of mass destruction used in the last 70 years when all aspects of damage are measured (i.e., not just deaths).
The average 82 year old man is not "about to die". In fact, on average, an 80 year old male lives for over 7 more years. An 83 year old will on average live another 6 years. Those are just averages. Some 80 year olds are at deaths door, while others will live well into their 90's. We shouldn't dismiss all the victims as "about to die anyway", as most probably had much more life to live. An 82 year old dying isn't as sad as the death of a young person, but for a husband, wife, son or daughter, it's still a major loss.
