COVID-19: YEARS TO LIVE

Life has its ups and downs.  But I don't want to die any earlier than I need to.  Especially not from an illness like COVID-19.  So how many years would I normally expect to have left?

I found some actuarial tables for England and plotted the graph.  Here it is.

This is suggesting that when someone is born, a male's life expectancy is some 79 years, a female's 83 years. Pbviously on average, smokers and non-smokers, regardless of any ailments.

Both my father and his father passed away from natural causes at 84.  So a bit longer for me as a male than the graph suggests, perhaps.  How about you?
