I don't agree. The headline contains valuable information. It says that, whatever you might think is the risk of dying once you got covid-19, on average those who died have their life shortened by about ten years. Which is not the same as dying in a traffic accident or in a war, where you can safely assume average lost lifespans of 30 or 40 years.

My only issue with this title is that can- which is wrong and makes the title meaningless. The news is that on average it does cut lifespan of ten years.
