It aint the killing of us old folks that affect pilots. It's the short time but long enough impact of the younger working folks not flying that is the problem for this thread subject. It's bad enough that a large population will be on some kind of self isolation (14 days etc.) coupled with a similar population that will take a month or more to recover enough to fly.
