As Covid-19 raged from 2019 to 2021, it washed out a decade of progress and decreased life expectancy worldwide by about two years, the World Health Organization reported on Friday. "The Covid-19 pandemic reversed the trend of steady gain in life expectancy at birth and healthy life expectancy at birth," the World Health Organization stated. An annual study of world health statistics by the World Health Organization revealed that the average life expectancy declined by 1.8 years to 71.4 years, nearly the same as in 2012.
