'Table 3' in this seals the deal for me. Early on in the pandemic, while the images from Italy of coffins in the streets were streaming across our television screens, I seem to recall Italy announcing that this was primarily a 'pandemic of the elderly.' The average age of death due to Covid was 84 years of age in Italy back then. Does anyone else recall the events of early 2020 like this? If true, this paper confirms what we should have realized along.
