No, it's absolutely not false at all. You seriously don't think that retirees contribute to the economy? Beyond that, a large portion of those deaths would be retirees, but a significant portion would be younger people (20s-60s). As more people get sick, more people stop going to work. Stop going out. The downwind effect is massive.
