Life expectancy in the U.S. has dropped sharply in the last two years, to the point that now the average Cuban will live nearly three years more than the average American.
“Two years difference in life expectancy probably comes from the fact that firearms are so available in the United States,” Crimmins says. “There’s the opioid epidemic, which is clearly ours – that was our drug companies and other countries didn’t have that because those drugs were more controlled. Some of the difference comes from the fact that we are more likely to drive more miles. We have more cars,” and ultimately, more fatal crashes.
Hmmm…
Is any of that due to covid deaths?
Covid couldn’t swim to Cuba.
Covid was a global pandemic, but the USA was hit particularly hard by it due to a number of issues, most of them preventable.
Seems to be people dying before age 50
