"A couple more years"? The *oldest * boomers are 74. That's even younger than that ghoul Ezekiel Emanuel's cutoff for when we should stop caring about human life.
Yes they have fewer years left than you but the risk of death from COVID increases with age fast enough that old people will on average lose more years of life if they catch it than young people, as I'm sure you know.
But long term disability from COVID in the young is extremely rare. Even when you account for that and the difference in life expectancy you're at less risk than an old person. More old people have died or become seriously ill from COVID than young people, so this difference in risk of infection isn't enough to change the priorities.
