US life expectancy drops a year in pandemic, most since WWII

AdThis is the first time the CDC has reported on life expectancy from early, partial records; more death certificates from that period may yet come in. Life expectancy is how long a baby born today can expect to live, on average. Black people now lag white people by six years in life expectancy, reversing a trend that had been bringing their numbers closer since 1993. Between 2019 and the first half of 2020, life expectancy decreased 2.7 years for Black people, to 72. Overall, the drop in life expectancy is more evidence of “our mishandling of the pandemic,” Brawley said.

Pilots say they, too, were molested by Univ. of Michigan doc

Some pilots have emerged as victims of Anderson, a deceased doctor who worked for decades at the University of Michigan. (Robert Kalmbach/Bentley Historical Library University of Michigan via AP, File)DETROIT – A cargo pilot who regularly needed health checkups to keep his license contacted a University of Michigan doctor in 2000.

Before the coronavirus even arrived, the U.S. was in the midst of the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in its history.

US suicide rate fell last year after decade of steady rise

NEW YORK – The U.S. suicide rate fell slightly last year, the first annual decline in more than a decade, according to new government data. In 2018, the national suicide rate hit its highest level since 1941 — 14.2 per 100,000 people. But death rates for the nation's two biggest killers — heart disease and cancer — were down, as were death rates for flu, chronic lung disease and Alzheimer's disease. "There are clear forces pressing suicide risk factors in a negative direction,” Moutier said, but that's doesn't mean suicide rates will automatically rise. “It’s possible that the rise in COVID-19 is sort pushing down the suicide rate,” he suggested.

Experts say US coronavirus death count is flawed, but close

The accuracy of U.S. coronavirus death count has been both a scientific and political issue. Some conservatives have suggested coronavirus deaths were being over-counted. THE NUMBERSThere is no U.S. coronavirus death count that is both current and complete. For example, there are fewer reported deaths on weekends, when staffing is lower and fewer people are filing reports.

U.S. life expectancy rises for the first time in 4 years but just a little

2 killer, blamed for about 600,000 deaths a year, so even slight changes in the cancer death rate can have a big impact on overall life expectancy. Also striking was the drop in drug overdose deaths that had skyrocketed through 2017. Preliminary data for the first half of 2019 suggest the overall decline in overdose deaths is already slowing down. In Ohios Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati, overdose deaths fell in 2018 and preliminary data indicate another drop last year. That report also found U.S. life expectancy is two years lower that the average for the 10 other wealthy nations.
