Fair point.
Just found it interesting that the BBC article posted doesn't mention 190k+ dead people. Although many were already elderly / retired, a significant portion of those were either frontline workers or over 50s workers.
According to Gov data, between Jan 2020 and July this year, there were 39,561 excess deaths in the 50-64 category. That's a lot of people who don't have jobs any more.

Not to be pedantic, but you can't be both economically inactive and dead. Unless you are the slacking undead.
