The number of U.S. deaths dropped this year, but there are still more than there were before the coronavirus hit.
U.S. deaths usually rise year-to-year, in part because the nation’s population has been growing. The pandemic accelerated that trend, making last year the deadliest in U.S. history, with more than 3.4 million dying. If current trends continue, this year will mark the first annual decline in deaths since 2009.
“We’re definitely worse off than we were before the pandemic,” said Amira Roess, a George Mason University professor of epidemiology and global health. COVID-19 will nevertheless end up as the nation’s third leading cause of death this year, just as it was in 2020 and 2021 — behind the perennial leader, heart disease, and cancer.
