The last I saw was 14% of those over 80 die; so for that age group it may be like playing Russian roulette with a six shooter. 80% of cases are going unreported for the public at large so that percentage might be too large. But, probably among those over 80 a larger percentage of cases get diagnosed as they are likely to be more serious in that age group.
