    Default Covid causes biggest drop in life expectancy since WW2

    Coronavirus has ravaged the world, with nearly 5 million people dying after infection, and this has had a huge impact on the calculations that underpin life expectancy.

    Life expectancy measures how long a newborn baby can expect to live if current death rates continue, so rather than being an actual predictor of lifespan it gives a snapshot of current mortality conditions.

    Oxford University academics analysed death figures from 29 countries, including most of Europe and the US, and found life expectancy fell in 27 of them.

    The biggest drop in life expectancy was found among males in the US, who saw a decline of 2.2 years compared to 2019.

    But I thought it was no worse than the common cold? wasn't it suppose to be gone by May, then June, then July, then September, then December? wasn't under "complete control" back in February, 2020? hydroxychloroquine didn't work?

    Biden was supposed to correct it all and save live. Obviously not the case now is it? Just another Biden failure. Democrats applaud.

    The study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, found that 27 of the 29 countries saw reductions in life expectancy in 2020, and at a scale which wiped out years of progress on mortality.

    The largest declines in life expectancy were observed among males in the US ...

    If they counted WW2 deaths they way they are counting COVID deaths this would not even be news.

    The big change since 2020 is that vaccines are available which greatly reduce mortality. But many people in the US are refusing vaccination, apparently for political reasons - despite the fact that their leader was quick to get vaccinated last January.

    Maybe they haven't heard about that, or they think it's a hoax. Who knows?

    And I’ll wager no consideration was given in the OP link to non-Covid mortality.

    The average age of Covid deaths was nearly 80 at one point—which is about the average life expectancy. So obviously, that’s not going to affect the life expectancy numbers. So, where else should we look? How about lockdown related numbers? When you start losing people in the 20’s to opioid abuse and suicide *that* will affect the average life expectancy.

    The OP is only telling part of the story.

    The Oxford investigators were using reported figures for deaths WITH Covid, of course.

    Are you suggesting that people under 80 first contracted Covid, then died of opioid abuse or suicide?

    That still wouldn't explain why the US did worst of all - by a long way.

    I would suggest looking beyond Trump for that answer. Like what is the rate of early treatment in other countries compared to ours? Do they track deaths in the same manner? Do they have the same uncontrolled immigration problems that we do?

    Probably not the direction you’re wanting to go in.
