A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study has found that last year was the deadliest in U.S. history, with COVID-19 helping to drive a 15% increase in deaths, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing sources.
Over 3 million people died in the United States in 2020, Politico said, adding COVID-19 was the third most common cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer.
The CDC will summarize its findings in an upcoming issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Politico said.
