Health officials say 2021 is shaping up to be the deadliest year in U.S. history, in large part because of the coronavirus and drug overdoses.

The U.S. has the highest number of COVID deaths as it nears the end of an especially difficult year for families who lost loved ones in the pandemic.A large reason is COVID-19, which hit the U.S. hard around March 2020 and became the nation’s No. 3 cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer.. This year, the number is already at 356,000, and the final count could hit 370,000, Anderson said.

An increase in annual deaths is not unusual. The annual count rose by nearly 16,000 from 2018 to 2019 — before COVID-19 appeared.smallest population growth rate in history Officials had hoped COVID-19 vaccines would slash the death count. But vaccinations became available gradually this year, with only 7 million people fully vaccinated at the end of January and 63 million at the end of March.
