Thanks. I love stuff like that.
If I was on a quiz show I would have guessed Hibernia was Scotland.
This data does not look correct.
There was a sharp decline in life expectancy in the United States as a consequence of COVID. Male numbers got down to the low 70s. Female numbers only one or two years above that.
The effect of Covid began to fade from the life expectancy numbers in the 2022 time frame, but the numbers did not bounce upwards spectacularly. Increased deaths from fentanyl, and the continuing increases in deaths from obesity did not go away.
The best numbers are from the social security actuarial people, and I think CDC makes use of them and fay add an adjustment for fentanyl. Regardless the US numbers were far behind those countries that did not suffer the same sort of Covid casualty counts. I haven’t checked it in a while but the last time I did I don’t think males had re-elevated to even 74, and therefore females can’t be anywhere near 80.
