I don't mean to go all conspiratorial , but how does the skewed mortality in Covid divert the estates and decrease the costs of the elderly to the young? I have long thought the estates and savings of this group constitute a ripe target to help cover the bills we have been diverting through borrowing and deficits, to the future generations to pay. Not only do we anticipate fewer workers to support the aging groups benefits , we are burdening them with the taxes and depleted reinvestment to pay for earlier "stimulus" programs.

Removing a million plus of the elderly will affect that process, and perhaps be reflected in the enthusiasm for treatments.
