January The deadliest month in the U.S. is the one that heralds the New Year: January. An average of 251,699 people in the U.S. died in January every year between 2010 and 2020, according to a Live Science analysis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wonder database, which tracks how and when people die.

Closed spaces are germ vectors, breeding bacteria and viruses from too many people being too close together for long stretches of time. Even worse, the flu virus grows a tougher lipid coating during the winter months, according to the University of Southern California’s Verdugo Hills Hospital (opens in new tab), and that combined with a more sluggish immune system (another downside of winter) raises the chances of getting sick. The flu still kills millions of people worldwide and 12,000 to 52,000 in the U.S. every year, according to the CDC (opens in new tab). Lower respiratory infections, like bronchitis or pneumonia, are the fourth-leading cause of death worldwide, according to the WHO (opens in new tab). But there are myriad other factors that make winter so deadly. "Exposure to extreme cold and wind, lack of adequate heating, older persons living alone, and the use of space heaters, which can lead to fires and carbon monoxide poisoning, are all concerns that make January the deadliest month of the year," Glatter said. The aftermath of the holiday season also may affect death rates. Overconsumption of food, salt and alcohol adds to physical cardiac stress, along with the psychological stresses that plague what is supposed to be the "most wonderful time of year." But Glatter said that despite the assumption that holiday and post-holiday suicides are the reason for the spike in January deaths, they are not the main causes of death during that month. Generally, the springtime months of April, May and June tend to have the most suicides in the U.S., according to John Hopkins Medicine (opens in new tab). Deaths from COVID-19 in the past several years have also spiked in the winter. As the U.S. Census database (opens in new tab) reveals, COVID-19 pushed up death rates in the U.S. by 19% between 2019 and 2020. The U.S. hasn't seen such an upsurge in death rates since the 1918 influenza pandemic about a century ago. Ariel Karlinsky (opens in new tab) — who researches excess mortality and economics at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and started the World Mortality Dataset (opens in new tab) with colleague Dmitry Kobak (opens in new tab), who studies COVID-19 excess mortality at Tübingen University in Germany — has been investigating just how much excess mortality there has been worldwide since the pandemic struck. He found that COVID deaths hit a high in January 2020 and 2021. Glatter is concerned about what could happen as the flu, RSV and COVID-19 flare up in the winter in what he calls a "tripledemic." He urged people to wear a mask to protect against COVID-19, RSV and the flu, especially in spaces without much ventilation. And he had some additional advice as winter approaches.
