When only (or mostly) the elder die, then the economy will not shut down, because of old people dying at home. Instead there will be a new big buisness of corpse disposal. Not nice, but necessary, if not government or voluntarily organized.

Only when everyone panics and people fight over live saving toilet paper, instead of keeping the power running, then the economy will shut down for good.

So I am not really scared of the virus, but rather panicked mobs.
