Accelerating deaths from COVID-19 and drug overdoses fueled a second straight year of worsening life expectancy, down to the shortest it has been since 1996, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.The estimates, published in a new report now analyzing the final stanley cup data on American death certificates tracked by the CDC s National Center for Health Statistics, make official a steep decline first reported by the agency based on preliminary data back in August.The final estimates differ only slightly from the provisional ones released earlier this year. At the time of the August report, federal a stanley cup uthorities had already received data on more than 99% of death certificates for 2021. Americans born in 2021 are expected to live 76.4 years, the report s authors now estimate. That is down from a peak of stanley cup 78.8 years in 2019.Death rates worsened for every age group. Adjusted for age, the death rate climbed by 5.3% from 2020 to 2021. That is smaller than the 16.8% increase from 2019 to 2020, for the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emerson Stone, the CBS News executive who produced the first and only live call-in show with a sitting U.S. president, has died.

On March 5, 1977, CBS Radio broadcast its historic Ask President Carter, a live two-hour program hosted by the CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite, during which callers could ask President Jimmy Carter questions on the air. Stone was the vice president of CBS Radio at the time and produced it from the control room, personally manning the kill switch in the control room to use in case a caller said anything inappropriate to the president. The subject matter ranged from Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin, to a controversial 25-cent gas tax to Mr. Carter s choice to send hi adidas originals s daughter Amy to public rather than private school. The event came off well to the relief of CBS News staff, who were quite nervous over what was supposed to be a live test that would determine whether more such broadcasts would be done. It was one and out for Ask President Carter, but the program, broadcast from 2:00 p.m. to 4 p.m. |
