    And the drop is basically attributed to Covid. Also, China’s numbers since 2020 aren’t out yet.

    The biggest driver in the drop in US life expectancy is covid, accounting for 50% of the decline, according to the CDC.

      So…. Lack of healthcare is the number one reason?

        According to the chart, it’s the lack of available data.

      Also, from all of the censuses outside of one country, China has not yet caught up to American life expectancy.

      Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

      Lol China will never release the actual COVID numbers. Not until they find a good way to hide them.
