The coronavirus pandemic is not only having an immediate impact in terms of the deaths of thousands of Americans, it's also taking more than a year off the average US life expectancy.
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences projects that Covid-19 will reduce US life expectancy in 2020 by 1.13 years, with a disproportionate number of deaths occurring among Black and Latino populations. When combined with provisional estimates of US death rates for the first half of the year, the data show a clear rise in the mortality rate as the pandemic took hold of the nation.
Doctors are killing alot more people than reported on alot of things to save their ways of doing things. How many people die from blood transfusions? Many surgeries could be done with bloodless surgery and save alot of lives. But the doctors are lazy and refuse to clamp arteries
Hello
And blacks and latino people still voted Trump! I mean...it's bizarre!!
Hahahahah. We already a lost a year off our lives.
Ah, the way I see it are a lot of people that aren’t Black or Latinos are dying and getting facial paralysis. Hmmm... I think CNN needs a fact checker.
The US government criticizes Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet every day, saying that there is no human rights in China. In fact, the real place where there is no human rights is the US! Shameless country!
Doesn't this life expectancy apply to rest of the world?
Awwwn this bullshit
Thats where the towers are going up, no different than high tension power lines back in the day rt through minority town
Those are just estimates, not real evidence smh
It is untrue
Too sad and ONE person to blame for it all. trump. Capitalizing his name makes me vomit.
the stress of CoVID alone feels like it's knocked over a year off my life,between the quarantining and isolation...it's probably 3 years worth of life wasted/lost. Add the sitting at home booze consumption, I'll be dead by Wednesday.
CNN turning something a virus into a racial thing. I’m the least bit shocked.
This is a complete fraud. 0.12% of the population died from Covid, most of whom were older people anyway. There’s no way US life expectancy is down 1.13 years across the board.
This is mother natures way of reducing human reliance on an already overused environment.
This statistic could be replaced with another of useful information.
A new study by Me shows that you are an idiot... and if you feed me that vaccine I will die whithin the day...
Such effing bull crap
