Not sure that makes any difference.

Not only are death rates sharply higher in older people, but their infection rates relative to the population are also higher as well.

Without better testing, you have no way of knowing whether older people have higher infection rates. Infection rates depend on far more variables than age. Witness what's happening on the Teddy Roosevelt.
