I don't know if it's been said...?(there's so many posts that one can't keep up.)
I had thoughts along the lines that the virus seems to be a higher risk for the higher aged in society. Haven't seen death rates stats based on age groups personally though.
However, for the aged people who contract the virus and regrettably pass on because of it, there's a transfer of their wealth to family or whoever is the beneficiary of their estate.
This is an ugly positive proposition of course, but it is reality.
Governments worldwide have been expressing for years now about the financial weight an ever aging population puts on the financial system as we are generally living longer than before, thus the increase in minimum retirement ages.
I wonder if this thought train has gone through certain politicians heads?... as some don't or didn't seem to care until the general populus was enraged and started speaking out.
