In 2021, #COVID19 took fewer lives than 2020, but it took younger lives, resulting in 500,000 more years of life lost. “We found that the median age at which people were dying decreased by nearly a decade, down from 78 years in 2020 to 69 years in 2021. That's kind of astonishing.”

Put simply, it's been my concern since 2020 that it would just take more time for younger people to experience worse outcomes. I hope I'm wrong, but every year that goes by it looks less and less likely that I am.
