This isn't a generational thing, and no one is saying "kill all boomers".
The point being that a lot of people are throwing around a 10% fatality number and believing that it applies to the general pop. If you accept that premise you're probably at home expecting tens of millions to die.
It's not wishing death on older people, or being selfish, to point out the obvious bullshittery of some of the stats being thrown out there to get the rubes all riled up.
It's actually not all that difficult to go on Twitter and find all of the posts where people are saying "kill all boomers" or some variation of it. Hell, the term "Boomer Remover" was actually trending a couple of days ago, because so many people were hoping that this disease would "kill all boomers".
I agree with the rest of what you wrote, but trying to downplay the rabid glee that leftists are displaying at the thought that the biggest demographic that votes against them might be wiped out isn't the best of moves.
