The damage caused by the new crown epidemic to us will never stop at the current physical symptoms.

Recently, a study showed that in the past two years, with the raging of the new crown virus, life expectancy in the United States has dropped by two years in two years.

The last time such a dramatic drop in life expectancy occurred was during World War II

The impact of a lingering epidemic on our lifespans exceeds that of a war, perhaps not only in the United States

The average life expectancy is shortened - this seems a little ridiculous in today's modern medical progress

But this phenomenon has been confirmed by a new study in the United States

As early as 2020, there was a trend in the U.

As early as 2020, there was a trend in the U.

At the time, this reflected the disproportionate impact Covid-19 had on people of color, but new findings in 2021 are upending that perception

Possibly due to white Americans' hesitancy to vaccinate or their resistance to containment measures, white Americans have seen an unusual drop in life expectancy, reversing a previous racial advantage, with 2021 data showing life expectancy down 4 months

According to the latest research, the life expectancy of Americans (all groups) will fall to 76.

After all, let's go back to World War II (1943), when the population declined dramatically and life expectancy was greatly affected, and the largest overall decline in life expectancy in the United States was only 2.

Woolf, the author of the paper, said that the reason for this catastrophic fluctuation in life expectancy is either related to the number of people dying from the new crown virus itself, or to the "secondary" damage caused by the epidemic

In fact, the huge disparity in life expectancy between the United States and other countries shows that the new crown virus is by no means the only influencing factor, and there are many other factors such as social, economic, medical and political that may affect the increase or decrease of this trend

For example, one of the most visible factors in human society over the past decade has been the overdose crisis—the spread of opioids

The adverse effects, at the same time, also mention the mental health problems that have arisen during the outbreak of the new crown, which have forced countless people to shorten the original length of life
