Left-hand side of table shows for the three Midwest areas: Number of COVID-19 decedents COVID PFR, life expectancy for COVID decedents (in years), life-years lost, and life expectancy loss (in years), over March 1, 2020–Dec. 31, 2021. Right-hand side shows national data, including national COVID decedents, over same period, except that national race/ethnicity data is through January 15, 2022. Decedents by race/ethnicity sum to slightly less than national totals due to persons with missing race/ethnicity information. For the national data, we assume that the COVID mortality age gradient for the three Midwest areas within each 5-year age group applies nationally. We compute separate estimates within each age group for men and women and for each race/ethnicity and combine them as needed to generate the rows in the table.
