Alabama shrinks.1st time in history more die than born

https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/19/health/us-coronavirus-sunday/index.html


Preliminary data shows that 64,714 people died in Alabama in 2020 while there were 57,641 births, Harris said. In 2019, the state recorded 54,109 deaths and 58,615 births, according to the health department.
According to state data, 7,182 people in Alabama died due to Covid-19 in 2020 and total Covid-19 deaths reached 13,209 as of Saturday.
