In 2021, 21% fewer people died of COVID than in 2020. But there were 500,000 more years of life lost, researchers found. The reason is that more younger people were dying of COVID, so they were missing out on more potential years of life.
A man whose mother died from COVID photographs a COVID Memorial Project installation of 20,000 American flags on the National Mall when the U.S. marked 200,000 lives lost in the COVID-19 pandemic in September of 2020. in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows a dramatic shift in deaths during the second year of the pandemic, when compared to the first.
"And we found that in those months in 2021, there were roughly 21% fewer COVID-involved deaths. That translates to nearly 75,000 fewer deaths," Czeisler said."However, we found 500,000 more years of life lost." "So that was a quite a dynamic shift," he said."We found that the median age at which people were dying decreased by nearly a decade, down from 78 years in 2020 to 69 years in 2021. That's kind of astonishing."
