I've seen the term used since the spring by an English guy who has been very vocal here on Twitter and on Youtube. It's extremely offensive to our elders and those who are vulnerable for reasons other than age.

The most striking piece of misinformation I’ve seen promulgated by the virus hoaxers is the confusion between average life expectancy and actuarial life expectancy. A person with age>average isn’t living on borrowed time. Average 70 year old lives another ~15 yrs. survival bias

What if this is just discussion about potential reasons which could explain why e.g death rate is so different between the countries? In my opinion, rising oneself over the others with moralistic emotional comments is not the way how our understanding increases. It stops dialogue
