>Life expectancy is significantly higher than it was before. Life expectancy in 1950 was 68 years in the US, 72 years in 1975, 76 in 2000, and almost 79 in 2021. In my country life expectancy at birth has gone up 10 years during my lifetime!
But life expectancy is decreasing. And not just due to COVID.
