The U.S. recorded its highest death total ever in 2021, with new data showing that COVID-19 deaths and drug overdoses contributed to the number.
Although the total number of U.S. deaths is expected to increase year over year as the population grows, 2020 and 2021 had unexpected jumps in death numbers and rates due to the pandemic, according to the AP.
National death trends tend to affect calculations for life expectancy, and the numbers for 2020 and 2021 have dropped life expectancy averages for the U.S. The CDC’s life expectancy estimate for 2020 was about 77 years, which is more than 1.5 years lower than in 2019. The CDC hasn’t reported its calculation for 2021, but other researchers have estimated that life expectancy will drop another 5 or 6 months, the AP reported. That would shift the average back to where it was about 20 years ago.CDC: “Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 .”: “Trends in Drug Overdose Deaths Among US Adolescents, January 2010 to June 2021.”
