It's official. Life expectancy in the U.S. has dropped, rather drastically.
From 2019 to 2020, life expectancy at birth declined for all states and D.C. (Table C, Figure 4) (5). The declines ranged from 0.2 to 3.0 years. The states with the greatest decreases in life expectancy at birth from 2019 to 2020 included those in the Southwest and U.S.–Mexico border area (Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas), Louisiana, Mississippi, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and D.C. New England (except for Connecticut), as well as Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii experienced the lowest declines in life expectancy at birth. Overall, life expectancy in the United States declined by 1.8 years from 2019 to 2020, mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increases in unintentional injuries (mainly drug overdose deaths) (1).

Looks like the IMF concerns posted in the OP of this old thread (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?43609-Longer-life-expectancy-bad-news-for-Governments&highlight=life+expectancy) are being circumvented, huh?
