It’s not young but it’s not extreme. The average lifespan for a man in Japan, where he lived, is 81.5 years

Many more people are living into their 90’s, and even over 100.

Hopefully what we consider to be old changes over time. Dr Fauci is a few days from 81, for example.

“Old age” is likely one of those things we simply accepted and never made much of an effort to address the issues that make us old.

That includes people who died as children, teens, etc. If you reach 70, your average lifespan is much higher AFAIK.
