Median will almost always above mean when it comes to life expectancy. But I fully expect median to have dropped almost as much as mean in this case, since the pandemic affected the older adults more, hence it should have shifted/compressed the entire right side of the death frequency over age graph. Anyway, in terms of measuring overall society, mean is better than median for life expectancy, since it gives effectively more weight to earlier death. Median/mode would be more useful for individual.
