19: See How Many Years Americans Killed By Virus Would Have Lived Otherwise, Study Shows
The average American who has succumbed to COVID-19 could have kept on living for another 13 years, according to a new Harvard University study. The assumption that COVID-19 is only killing elderly people near a natural death is not supported by research, said study author Stephen J. Elledge, a genetics professor at Harvard Medical School. The study looks at the 194,000 COVID-19 related deaths in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic to October. By looking at actuarial data on life expectancy and demographics, researchers said that more than 2.5 million person-years of life have been…
