You just keep making it easy. "Average" life expectancy is a meaningless number when applied to an individual, since it varies with age and gender. How do you explain my 98 year old mother? She is expected to live another 2+ years.
And your covid number is an estimate. confirmed cases are a liitle over 40 million. Do you even know the difference between confirmed and estimates? I go with, you know, actual data, not some SWAG
i knew you wouldn't understand.
My covid number is the CDC's number. It's the same way they've counted flu cases for years.
The sand in your hourglass is running out. Tick tock, tick tock. Buh bye.
Phil Valentine, longtime Tennessee conservative talk radio host, insisted he was just using common sense in not getting vaccinated as the odds of him dying from Covid was, “probably way less than one percent."
Looks like he odds were not in his favor, as last month he died from Covid after a stint in the ICU.
Every anti-vaxxer that subsequently is infected with Covid regrets not getting the jab. Hmmm.
More active Covid cases reported in the U.S. today than back in January. The line remains in an upward trend, however this could well be due to increased awareness, and testing.
Deaths are also on the uptick. According to the seven-day moving averages, we are about where we were in April, 2020, and November 2020. However, it may be leveling off.
Perhaps the pool of unvaccinated individuals, who are statistically far more likely to experience significant symptoms, is shrinking.
The most important metrics are new cases, and of course deaths. New cases peaked about 2 weeks ago and are dropping. Deaths are a lagging indicator (following new cases). They should peak in the next week or so. How quickly numbers will drop remains to be seen.

Increased awareness? There were people who were unaware of covid in January?
No, the auto accident comment is 100% accurate and easily provable. In other news, water is wet.
And no, average life expectancy is 78.8. So it's been nice knowing you I guess.
And yes, once you've actually reached the age of 70+, you can be expected to live longer than the average life expectancy due to the fact that you've made it that far.
The 78.8 figure is life expectancy from birth. It goes up the longer you live past middle age.
Soz.
