Even without the graphs, the steepness of the case fatality rate after about 60 makes it intuitively obvious. Anyone who thought otherwise was not paying attention to the data.

It's not the steepness. It is the fact that fatality increases exponentially with age.

Also, YLDs for those without covid but are experiencing increased depression, etc. due to our lockdowns. The effects of covid is more than just death and possible disability to those infected. Am curious what the total societal impact of this pandemic is.

I'd like to draw your attention to this passage in your own paper stating that taking into account both age and health status in the prioritization saves both the most lives and life left. Prioritizing by underlying medical conditions is worth it.pic.twitter.com/UsBDv7mkbI

Almost nobody is doing this in a rational way though (which would only very rarely change eligibility by more than 5-10 years), and as a result, modifying the prioritization by medical conditions is currently doing much more harm than good.

Particularly when taking in account possible life extension of the future.
