US CDC lifts quarantine, distancing recommendations for COVID-19
Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that life expectancy fell by a year and a half in 2020, to 77.3 years, largely due to deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the estimated life expectancy of the US has been reduced by almost three years, to 76 years, one month. Story continues below ad The CDC says COVID-19 accounted for about half of the decline in 2021, a year in which vaccinations became widely available but new variants of the coronavirus caused waves of hospitalizations and deaths. Other factors that contribute to the decline are long-term problems: drug overdoses, heart disease, suicide, and chronic liver disease. Today is World Overdose Awareness Day. It is a day to remember, without stigma, those we have lost to drug overdose. Recovery is possible.
