  1. The agency’s proposed rule would loosen limits on #EthyleneOxide #emissions from around 90 commercial sterilization facilities across the country. Roughly 2.3 million people live within two miles of these facilities in what are often #LowIncome neighborhoods or #CommunitiesOfColor, according to an analysis by the Union of Concerned Scientists, an environmental group.

  6. #ChronicIllnesses thrive in a sink-or-swim #culture, w/the US gov spending far less than peer countries on #PreventiveMedicine & #SocialWelfare generally. Breakthroughs in #technology, #medicine & #nutrition that should be boosting average life spans have instead been overwhelmed by #poverty, #racism, #distrust of the #MedicalSystem, fracturing of #social networks & #unhealthy #diets built around highly #ProcessedFood, researchers told The Post.

  11. This phenomenon is exacerbated by the country’s #economic, #political & #racial divides. #America is increasingly a country of haves & have-nots, measured not just by bank accts & property values but also by vital signs & grave markers. Dying prematurely… has become the most telling measure of the nation’s growing #inequality.

    …early deaths (are) an extreme manifestation of an underlying deterioration of #health & a failure of the #HealthSystem to respond.

  16. Even before the pandemic…
    Sickness & death were/are scarring entire communities…. In a quarter of the nation’s counties, mostly in the #South & #Midwest, working-age people are dying at a higher rate than 40 years ago….

    Deaths of adults 35-64 are concentrated in the nation’s interior, including #Appalachia, the #MississippiDelta & parts of the Midwest. In recent decades, death rates have been rising in the interior while declining in coastal regions.

  21. #LifeExpectancy in the U.S. has been declining since 2014.

    The #American #diet, #HealthCare system & #poverty have contributed to an epidemic of #ChronicIllness, a Post examination found.
    More adults are dying in their prime.

    5-10% of all #US #children have developed #FattyLiverDisease. Before the early 2000s, it almost exclusively affected adults, particularly heavy drinkers.
