Why don't you stop behaving like the alt-right gang and write something which isn't an attempt to promote fear and anxiety by mis-stating things the way you do? The only reason that life expectancy dropped in 2020 was because of the pandemic which added 3% to the mortality frate in one year, And the fact that the NYT reporter couldn't come up with any other specific reason should have alerted you to how incorrect the NYT story was but since your intention is to increase your audience through fear, why not? I just hope that if you do become a nurse that your ability to diagnose medical issues is better than your ability to diagnose political issues.
