코로나 바이러스로 인해 2020년 전세계가 큰 타격을 받았고

2021년 현재도 계속해서 영향을 끼치고 있는대요

Covid-19으로 인해 영향을 받은 분야중 하나가

미국의 평균수명 수치랍니다

 

2020년에 심장병과 암 다음으로 3번째로 만은 사망자를 만들어낸 코로나로 인해

2019년 평균수명이 78.8 이었던것에 비해 2020년에는 77.8 로 떨어졌답니다

 

코로나로 인해서 정규검진을 받아야 하는 환자들이 검진을 받으러 외출하는것에 제약을 받았고

코로나로 인해 다른 검사들이 많이 연기되기도 했었답니다

 

백신접종이 이뤄지면서 다시 정상적으로 사회가 돌아가면서

평균수명이 다시 올라갈 것이라는 의견과 함께

워낙 큰 전염병이었기에 이후로도 쭉 영향을 끼칠것이라는

두 의견이 나뉘고 있답니다

 

그럼 오늘의 기사를 함께 살펴보겠습니다
