U.S. Life Expectancy Fell by 1 Year in First 6 Months of Pandemic
@COVID19Up: Life expectancy in the U.S. fell by a full year in the half of 2020, CDC data published Thursday shows.
The decline from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77.8 years for January through June 2020 marks the biggest fall in longevity since World War II, underscoring the impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. The drop is even larger for Black and Latino Americans, who've been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
