Some of those are likely dead by now.

Here's a very useful site: https://247wallst.com/special-report/2020/07/29/how-many-people-are-alive-from-the-year-you-were-born/2/

It starts with 1936, and says that some 43% of those born that year in this country were still alive in 2020. More than half of those born in 1939 are still alive. People fundamentally misunderstand life expectancy at birth, and don't understand that the longer you live, the longer you are likely to live.
