A few days ago, we reported the latest stunning numbers on American overdose deaths: more than 90K Americans died in 2020 of drug-related overdoses, with some 80% of those involving fentanyl, the synthetic opioid that has displaced heroin as the most commonly abused illicit opioid in the US.
These deaths, combined with the nearly 400K Americans who were killed by COVID last year, have officially led to the biggest drop in US life expectancy since WWII.
Provisional data released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
showed that American life expectancy dropped to 77.3 years in 2020, roughly the same level as in 2003.
