U.S. Life Expectancy Fell By 1.5 Years In 2020, The Biggest Drop Since WW II:
Life expectancy in the United States declined by a year and a half in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which says the coronavirus is largely to blame.
COVID-19 contributed to 74% of the decline in life expectancy from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77.3 years in 2020, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
It was the largest one-year decline since World War II, when life expectancy dropped by 2.9 years between 1942 and 1943. Hispanic and Black communities saw the biggest declines.
[...] "The range of factors that play into this include income inequality, the social safety net, as well as racial inequality and access to health care," Curtis said.

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. If you want numbers so bad, why don't you start?

Looking forward to you backing up your claim [soylentnews.org], then.
You've got no room to complain about people contradicting you when they provided just as much evidence as you (0=0), you toxic little dingbat.
