Spanish 2022 pension budget = €170.5 bn. https://t.co/eOdeylPPxS
19.4% of pop. 65+ = 9.06 M, so <pension> = €18,820 p.a.
If median age of covid deaths is 80, life expectancy is 9.1 years. To date (OWID) 91,599 covid deaths in Spain.
Saving = 91,599 x 18,820 x 9.1 = €15.7 bn— Frithlaoch (@frithlaoch) January 21, 2022
