Is it even right to say "older populations?" I don't have a better word, but maybe we should say, "very old" or enumerate the ages specifically.
Median COVID-19 death age in Italy is 81.
Average life span for an Italian male is 80.
Chance of dying every year for an 85 year old American male is 10% for any and all causes. Because... well our bodies get old and frail at that age. And even then, the vast majority of them survive COVID-19.
