COVID-19 pandemic’s death toll could shorten life expectancy in US by as much as 3 years
data released Tuesday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.But life expectancy for 2020 could end up dropping as much as two to three years due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, said Robert Anderson, who oversees the CDC’s death statistics."We’ve had a lot of deaths added since August, so I think a drop of two to three years for 2020 isn’t out of the question," Anderson said, according to the Washington Post.
