Well, I'm not going to agree with your moving goalposts.


As I have previously said, I fully agree that most COVID deaths are from people who are over 65 and/or have at least one underlying/pre-existing health issue.  That is well-established fact.

In this thread you've moved from: "vast majority...had significant and multiple comorbidities," with "most [having] had one foot in the grave"

to: "significant [instead of "vast"] majority...relatively old and in relatively poor health."

Relatively old and relatively poor health is quite different from significant and multiple comorbidities and one foot in the grave - and of course a phrase like "relatively poor health" is incredibly subjective.  I suppose you could say a 65-year-old with high blood pressure is in "relatively poor health," but that person could easily live another 20 years or more - so he or she would be far from having one foot in the grave, which is the argument you have been making for almost 2 years (that the vast majority of COVID deaths are people who were about to die anyway and would have died soon without COVID).

So, I stick with my original statement that there is no question most COVID deaths are people who are over 65 and/or have at least one underlying/pre-existing health condition.
