Ricofoley Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Pretty grim! Quote The report pointed to COVID-19 as one of the main reasons for the drop in life expectancy. There were approximately 460,000 deaths caused by COVID-19 during 2021, according to an April 2022 CDC report. Drug overdoses were the other reason for the drop in life expectancy, according to the report out Thursday. In 2021, there were 106,699 overdose deaths for a rate of 32.4 per 100,000 people, up from 91,799 deaths or 28.3 overdose deaths per 100,000 in 2020. US life expectancy falls to lowest levels since 1996 due to COVID, drug overdoses: CDC - ABC News ABCNEWS.GO.COM Two new CDC studies published Thursday found life expectancy fell to 76.4 years in 2021, the lowest recorded since 1996 -- mostly due to COVID and drug overdose deaths.

Life expectancy has been steadily increasing since 1980, including 1996. The 1996 reference is pointing out that life expectancy has dropped to the level it was at in 1996, meaning that all gains since that year have been erased.
