Life expectancy in the United States fell for the second straight year, fueled by COVID-19, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published Wednesday.
The two-year decline was steep, down 2.7 years between 2019 and 2021. Life expectancy was 76.1 years in 2021, down from 77 years in 2020 and 78.8 years in 2019.

You know what killed all those people, and is still killing them, and reduced society’s life expectancy like this?
The virus.
No, people didn’t suicide because they were so upset by staying home playing videogames. The latest suicide numbers are out. Suicides in the US declined from 2018 to 2019 — and they declined AGAIN during the carnage the virus wrought in 2020.
Now, your correct reply is not “Oh so you’re saying this or you’re saying that.” The correct reply is “So you’re saying suicides did NOT increase during the supposed horrors of lockdown.” Yes, that is correct.
Covid is the #3 killer in the US. Now the next thing to not do is take your fist and pound it on your desk and say “Bullshit, people went into the hospital from a car wreck and had a positive test and died and were called a Covid death.” That is stupid. It is not what happened. What happened is people went into the hospital, tested positive, watched their blood oxygen content begin decline as breathing failed to do its job and the person died and was declared a Covid death, even, gasp, without having had a car accident.
Want to know how to know this? Like so: It happened all over the world. Russia had enormous Covid death counts. Japan is spiking Covid deaths RIGHT NOW. And most powerfully, go look at Excess Death curves. From all over the world. You’ll see how the curves rising and falling correspond to the Covid death counts those days and weeks.
If it were people dying because they didnt’ go to the doctor and needed to, then the curves would not align with Covid deaths from everywhere internationally.
Get it through your heads. Covid killed these numbers. Mostly elderly, and the reason the young have to focus on this is it takes years off their lives when they get old.
Now the last thing to not stand up and do is sneer about OH, so now I am supposed to get vaxed and wear a mask. The vax fades quickly. Getting infected and having some immunity from that also fades quickly. And “a mask” is mostly useless because most people didn’t buy N95s.
There is only one known way to combat the virus and that is to get away from people and stay away from them. That will end society as we know it, but the global vaccines just do not seem to last very long. Sinovac did not and Sputnik did not. They faded just like Moderna and Pfizer.
Have a little courage. Be willing to recognize and face an all powerful enemy without deluding yourself about whatever.
Stop desperately deluding yourself. Obesity was there before the virus and its impact on mortality was built into the analysis.
The virus killed these people, and it killed them in countries with less obesity.
Stop denying there exists such an all powerful enemy. It’s cowardice.
Well the US does have the fattest poor people on the planet.
Not actually. But, even so, you could not pick out the difference between the average US BMI person (US Rank 20) and that of a person in France (France rank 124) with a lower BMI if you saw them naked. Its all bullshit propaganda to sell “low fat” products and exercise equipment and services.
Factoid:
1/3 of all of the Obese persons in the US are California residents.
Obesity would show a gradual but increasing rise in deaths from obesity related illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. It’s been an issue for 40 years. We are seeing a sudden massive spike in all cause mortality.
My observation of NYC is just that. Lower East Manhattan is where we go and seldom go anywhere but there and Brooklyn.
With drugs and alcohol, the obesity epidemic is killing this nation off.
I was at a sporting event last week and I could count the normal looking people on one hand. Everybody else were straight up gluttons and blobs.
You know, if you’re going to try to sound intelligent, it would be a good idea to avoid saying things that are utterly unprovable.
How many people on the playing field were obese? Because those people are suddenly dying at an astronomic rate.
I assume you avoid Harlem, Williamsburg, downtown Brooklyn, and all the other welfare neighborhoods.
Correctumundo!
The Vax will kill many more than the disease…
The rise in food costs will not affect the overweight welfare population.
A “poor” family in America gets overloaded with food benefits.
Their kids get free breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the public school.
The food benefit for a welfare family of 4 is $600 a month.
WIC, for children under five, is another $400 a month.
As the socialist Bible says: “The fat poor ye will have always with you.”

All Life Expectancy analysis projects causes to be perpetual.
If there is a war that kills 2 million young people, that will result in an LE computation of a huge number of life years lost, and that is presumed to happen every year by the math. It won’t happen every year, but the math has no way to know that, and it’s largely best if it doesn’t try to know that.
That would lead to people whimsically deciding what will be so in the future with zero evidence of it. In contrast, things like heart disease, cancer and yes, Covid, show no signs of a cure arriving any time soon.
So yes, the correct projection is that it WILL happen every year in the future. For heart disease, for cancer, for Covid. Years are taken from the young.
LE dropped everywhere. Russia doesn’t give a damn about US progressive liberals. Neither does Japan.
The virus doesn’t care about that stuff, either.
It’s right up there with the unprovable assertion that the “vaccines” reduce the severity of “COVID”, or reduce “COVID” hospitalizations and/or deaths. I could as easily assert that if you get “COVID”, and wear brown socks, you will have less severe “COVID” than those who don’t wear brown socks.
Maybe you are one who had a different batch.
a brown sock across mouth and nose would likely reduce particle density inhaled, marginally. N95 superior, of course.
