Sorry to break up your self-congratulatory, social distancing sewing circle, but I thought that it would be nice to share some good news in the fight against the coronavirus. A good friend of mine, a dyed in the wool liberal (can you believe it?), passed this statistic along that is most fascinating, almost shocking. Massachusetts has some of the best hospitals in the world and this really shows. For comparison, the average life expectancy in the US is 78.54 years of age (2017).
MA - 2018 Avg Age of Death - 80 years 8 months
MA Avg Age of Death from Coronavirus - 82 years
So statistically in Massachusetts, your life expectancy is longer WITH the coronavirus than without.
