One of the main contributors to the high death rate remains the coronavirus, from which more Americans have died this year than last.
2021 became the deadliest year in US history, writes Associated Press.
Thus, 15,000 more people have already died this year than last year.
It is expected that by the end of the year in the United States will be recorded 3.4 million deaths.
This makes 2021 the deadliest year in U.S. history, according to Center for Disease Prevention and Control spokesman Robert Anderson.
He named COVID-19 as the main cause of the high death rate, which ranked third in the number of deaths caused, after heart disease and cancer.
If in 2020 351 thousand people died from COVID, then this year this figure is already 356,000, and by the end of 2021 it may increase to 370,000.
The Center estimates that 204 million Americans, or about 65% of the population, have already been fully vaccinated.
Also, the CDC calculated the average life expectancy for 2020, which was 77 years.
In total, almost 831 thousand people have died from the coronavirus during the pandemic in the United States.
