American Millenials are dying at an alarming rate

“ Zoom in, and things get even more concerning: Among Americans younger than 65, almost half of deaths wouldn’t happen if we had a death rate that matched our peers. Among those aged 25 to 44, a group we call “early adults,” it’s 62 percent—nearly two out of three deaths at those early ages.”

“ Nonelderly Americans in particular were hit harder than nonelderly populations in other rich countries.”

“ one population for whom the pandemic does look like a longer-term turning point for the worse. And that population is a worrisome one: Americans early in their adulthood, those aged 25 to 44—that is, millennials, as well as some older members of Gen Z .”

Ha. First they wouldn't spend on restaurants, then they wouldn't have babies, now they're dying? The nerve? How do we get them out at restaurants and consuming if they are dead?

It must have been the avocado toast.

Homeschooling is superior to public schools for most children. High time to reclaim our place as the best educators for our own children, especially during the early years.

Put together a neighborhood group with an amazing teacher. This is being done with phenomenal success.

Public schools are highly damaging to the majority of kids. School violence can be severely traumatic for many children. Children deserve better.

Public schools are killing our children?

Yeah, like drinking raw milk and getting preventable childhood illnesses.

Are you in the right thread? This doesn't follow.

"But what surprised us was that, from today’s postpandemic vantage point, the American health disadvantage doesn’t look like a pandemic story at all. The U.S. mortality disadvantage has been growing at about the same rate for years, and while it spiked during COVID-19, it still continues to rise."

The mistake is right there in the first sentence. The pandemic is not over. People are still getting COVID quite a lot. And here are all these younger people dying. I wonder what could explain it? It's a mystery to these writers, who accept the premise that we are "post-pandemic."

We ended the social and political recognition of the pandemic. That's not the same as a pandemic being over.

Why do you believe Millennials are dying off so fast?

Does the article say why? You can’t make any conclusions if they don’t even know the cause.

This article is behind a paywall, also it is Slate. If you can find me a real news source than knows how to write, I'd be happy to read it.

People get colds and influenza a lot, too. We don't call that a pandemic- we just call it normal.

We call influenza pandemic with some frequency, actually.

Rhinoviruses do not seem to have any lasting impact on any system of the body, but if you have evidence to the contrary, by all means present it.
