No, that site is ridiculously wrong.
And most of these quotes are also wrong for the US.
Covid knocked 2.5 years off US LE, and it was a surprise to me because the calculation is life years lost when there is disease. It was killing only old folks, so the life years lost total wasn’t huge. But several places were quoting big losses, and not referencing each other so . . . there may be other definitional realities.
The US number is about 77, and that is a composite of male and female, with male about 75. It got down to 73.2 in 2021 because of the virus. Yes, it is climbing back, but it is not recovering entirely — because of Fentanyl and fat. Heads up people, that is reality. Men LE at birth is 73.2. It is declining, with most, but not all, from the virus.
LE has 2 other aspects worth being aware of — LE by age and HALE.
LE by age is the reality that if you reach 65, your odds of 80 grows because you . . . dodged a lot of bullets enroute.
HALE is Health Adjusted Life Expectancy. The US has disabilities arrive about 10 years before death. So the extra years aren’t great.
mistyped, it got down to 73.2 but has recovered to 75 which is 2 yrs under 2019ish
