Americans born in 2021 can expect to live for just 76.1 years - the lowest life expectancy has been since 1996, the biggest two-year decline in almost 100 years. The Covid-19 pandemic is the primary cause, but overdoses and accidents also contributed. ow.ly/3vEy50LaOWt
Life-expectancy in Africa is 56 years, up by a decade from the turn of the century. Despite welcome initiatives in preventing and treating infectious diseases, these gains were offset by a rise in noncommunicable diseases: ow.ly/28Q350KtCnr
