It sounds great, until you learn that life expectancy was 78.8 years before Covid and is now 78.4 years. Covid isn't killing a whole bunch of people anymore, so there isn't some big improvement that is being masked by Covid deaths, so basically we're just returning to where we were, slightly worse than. And where we were is bad.
