Yup, I downloaded the xls and sorted BN and see what you are talking about.

My guess is the worldmeter is based on 2023 and post-pandemic. Your's was as of 2021, during the height of the pandemic.

Even if we're going off yours, the richest nation can't compete with Costa Rica or Chile? Also still like half a decade behind the rest of the advanced world. Truly embarrassing stuff.

Still, a lot of it is state based too. Like Mississippi has a life expectancy similar to countries like Bangladesh and Syria. Some day with lots of prayers they might be able to compete with North Korea.
Heart disease & cancer. I'm blaming it on process & fried foods, and too much money to eat out all the time.
