We agree on this COVID is real and that, unfortunately, it is too often lethal for people over a certain age and those with pre-exisintng conditions. I fit both profiles age, asthma and a history of getting pneumonia.
Ba-zing back at you! 
Even in the 80-89 age demographic, COVID is 75% survivable, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
As you are closer to 80 now than to 70, the probability of someone who is turning 79 this year dying of COVID is perhaps 1 in 6. But here's the question, Prime/Mr. Rat Terrier Lover:
Do you consider yourself to be the least healthy person in your age range?
Probably not.
You may well be the most healthy in your age group.
Therefore your odds of dying may be closer to someone under 70 - where we are getting closer to survivability rates of 299 out of 300 - or at the very least, perhaps 99 out of 100 people under 60 will survive. If not under 60, definitely for those under 50. Absolutely for those under 50.
And who is to say that you don't have the general health of a person under 50?
Regarding these stats, it's hard to be 100% exact by the year [hence calculating per 10-year age range is easier], but for perspective, here in Ontario, 202 people under 60 had died of COVID by 2020-12-26, out of a population of 11.7 million Ontarians in that age range.
When you consider that 189 of those 202 people under 60 in Ontario who had died by Boxing Day had separate underlying conditions, that means that only 12 people under 60 in Ontario died
exclusively of COVID out of 11.7 million in that age range.
So what group is COVID "too often lethal" for?
99-year-old people with Stage IV cancer?
Yeah...but LIFE ITSELF is lethal for those people.
COVID may be real, but the predictions it would kill random people of all ages was a complete lie. The only people who died were super elderly, immunocompromised, or already dying.
Anything else is just cherry-picking.
COVID is just another flu.
