Republican covid spreading made American life expectancy drop even further.
The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to bring about a greater decline in annual life expectancy than the United States has experienced in many years, perhaps since the 1918 influenza pandemic, which is estimated to have reduced US life expectancy between 7 and 12 years.
Republicans broke every rule of Public Health and gave the USA the biggest case of covid in the world.
If youâre born in the South, chances are youâll have a shorter life expectancy compared with the rest of the United States, according to newly released data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday.
â
The CDC found that Americans are expected to live an average of 78.7 years, though women were more likely to outlive men by five years nationwide, according to the report.
States in the South fared worse when compared with their Northeastern and Western counterparts.
West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina and Missouri all ranked in the bottom 10 states for life expectancy, respectively, the CDC found.
West Virginia, which had an average life expectancy of 74.4 years, ranked the lowest for both men and women.
âWith a few exceptions, the states with the largest sex differences are those with lower life expectancy at birth, while the smallest sex differences are found mostly among states with higher life expectancy,â CDC researchers wrote in the report.
Meanwhile, Hawaii took the top spot for the state with the highest average life expectancy at 81 years.
The Aloha State was followed by California, New York, Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Washington, Colorado, New Jersey and Rhode Island to round out the top 10 states where youâll live the longest.
Something I saw on a poster or bumper sticker, but rather comforting to me at my age; âYesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. Thatâs why we call it the âpresent.ââ
And we can thank the shutdown of the nation, bringing massive unemployment, depression, and suicides. The study actually shows the biggest factor is drug overdose and suicide.
