| US life expectancy falls to lowest levels since 1996 due to COVID, drug overdoses: CDC |
| 2022-12-22 |
| [ABC] Life expectancy in the United States has fallen to the lowest levels seen in 26 years, new federal data shows. Two new reports, published early Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, found the death rate increased 5.3%, from 835.4 per 100,000 people to 879.7 per 100,000 in 2021. Death rate is now on a par with interest and inflation rates. Eight percent appears to be the short-term central planning goal. This means that life expectancy decreased in 2021 for the second year in a row to 76.4 years, down from 77 years in 2020, and is the lowest figure recorded since 1996. While the drop of 0.6 years is not insignificant, it's smaller than the drop of 1.8 years that occurred between 2019 and 2020. The authors of the report said the drop was primarily due to COVID-19 and drug overdose deaths. |

| #19 If I make it to heaven, maybe Shamu will be there. I’dpet his tongue in heaven as I am sure management will be lenient regarding that type of fraternization . It will be a nice place because the ducks won’t be able to take a dump on my freshly hosed pavement. It will be a good place to wait for the five people that have to check in with me on that weird heavenly scavenger hunt. |

| #18 My 95 year old cousin Helen, Christmas 2018. She and Earl were both gone within 10 months: "I'm ready to go! Earl is 100 and we just don't know anybody around here anymore." |

| #17 All that's fun, but some just don't care to live longer. It's a feature, not a bug. |

| #16 Died with a Covid positive test. Then discovered the tests are notoriously false-positive. Even better was when it was discovered how to create a false positive test to get out of school/work. I'm just sure nobody used that trick to collect Covid Dollars too... |

| #15 The CDC has about the same credibility as all the other tax-fattened agencies that are full of quacks who can't make it in the private sector. |

| #13 I see men's life expectancy declined to 73.5....uh oh, I'm already past that! Look out! Seriously, they are being dishonest when they say that covid is the third leading cause of death. The CDC gave the game away when they published the comorbidity tables. For example, of all the covid deaths, over 200,000 had heart attacks/cardiac arrest. Another 111,000 had sepsis. An incredible 510,000 also had influenza and pneumonia. But none of these diseases killed anyone. Their deaths are all included in the covid statistics.

| #8 In related news, noted LifeStyle expert Sean Penn declares that not only will Covid Boosters save your life, they will trim unwanted fat from your body. Or you should go to jail. I'd guess, preferably, one of them Chinese models having difficulties burning bodies at a fast enough rate. Rulence by Pop Culture is Exciting! |
