Here in Alberta, there are 16K reported cases, 14.7K recovered and 255 deaths. Their ages ranged from 27-105.

Of those deaths, only 8 had no comorbidities. 2/3 (170) were over the age of 80. Factoring in those aged 70-79, 57 died. 89% of all CCP-Coronavirus deaths were over the age of 70. While I do not know the ages of the 8 people with no comorbidities, I would suspect that they were all quite elderly when they passed away.

The average life expectancy in Alberta is 82 and the average age of CCP-Coronavirus deaths is 83. While I believe that the passing of anyone is sad, statistics would suggest that the CCP-Coronavirus is ‘thinning the herd’. (My stats come from the Alberta government website concerning the CCP-Coronavirus. https://www.alberta.ca/covid-19-alberta-data.aspx)
