You’ve described the many episodes of my life. I left it all behind except the sedentary lifestyle.

Matti Aleve@MikeElgan I have seen charts that compare life expectancy across multiple countries. The ones that let covid rip (US, Sweden, UK) had large dips. Canada put a little more mitigation in place and has a smaller dip. Then places like Taiwan, Korea and Japan that had lots of mitigations have even smaller dips.
This is what covid did in the first year in Canada

Reductions in life expectancy directly associated with COVID-19 in 2020
This study seeks to measure the reduction in life expectancy at birth as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, both nationally and in affected provinces. In Canada, deaths attributed to COVID-19 contribute to a projected reduction in life expectancy at birth of 0.41 years in 2020. Estimates of life expectancy in 2020, which will be available at a later date, will show both the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic.
