The bottom line is this, but for Covid-19, many, many, many, many people would not have died ...in the last seven months.

That's true. And BTW, my comment "for how long" had nothing to do with age and everything to due with their underlying health. A person with a 15% LVEF has about 2 months, a person with stage 4 pancreatic ca 4-5 months, maybe. If they get sick with COVID, it will probably kill them. If they just test positive without additional symptoms, maybe not.
PS. I think you'll live to 110
