"Life expectancy is a statistic widely used to summarize the mortality rates of a population at some point," say the authors. "It reflects how long a group of people who can expect to live at experimenting with every age the prevailing age-specific mortality rates. The estimates of life expectancy are sometimes poorly understood . We can not know the mortality rates at the future age for born. Or living today, but we know current tariffs. The life expectancy (at birth or 25 or 65 years) On the basis of these rates is useful for understanding and comparing a country's mortality profile over time or locations at some point. Time. Estimation of life expectancy during the pandemic Covid-19 , such as those reported here, can help clarify people or the most affected places, but they do not predict how long a group of people will live. "

"The United States had a much larger decrease in life expectancy between 2018 and 2020 than other high-income nations, with losses delivered between Hispanic and non-Hispanic black populations," said the report. "A long-standing disadvantage of high mortality rates in 2020 and persistent unfair effects on racial and ethnic groups are probably long-standing policies and systemic racism."

"I think life expectancy will bounce," said Virginia Commonwealth Woolf, according to the NPR. "But", says NPR, "it is unlikely that the United States will be about to reverse the trend entirely." "The United States has some of the best hospitals and some of the greatest scientists. But other countries do much better to get quality medical care for their people," Woolf said. "We have great gaps in taking care of people who need it most, when they need it most." And to cross the healthiest life, do not missCause # 1 "fatal" cancer.
