The COVID-19 pandemic slashed the life expectancy of 30-year-olds in 29 developed countries in 2020, and it had an especially devastating effect on the life expectancy of 30-year-olds in the United States. José Manuel Aburto, a demographer at Oxford University, and other demographers have reported the details in a new paper published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published data showing that the overall U.S. life expectancy at birth dropped 1.5 years between 2019 and 2020, to 77.3 years, and that U.S. life expectancy at age 65 dropped 0.8 years, to 18.8 additional years.
