I too would like to take you up on this. The human is intent on preserving his/her own life. This must weigh on how people see the percentage. One can't write people off in this way.

To be sure, I can see you're not advocating this callousness in any way. But the
risk of dying for old folk is a different percentage when seen against the number contracting the virus.

The only statistics that matter are the number of deaths both gross and over-70s.
