Not much. The article says 1Q 2019 to 3Q 2022 is the cited timespan. Covid accounted for less than 10% of overall deaths in that period, and many would have passed away anyway in that time (the average remaining life expectancy of a Covid death was something like 9 to 18 months by different surveys I saw.)
Covid was probably a factor in the numbers, though; young people were both locked inside and couldn't go out to spend money, and also were handed free money by the government.
Although that's probably a small effect too. I'd guess the largest real reasons are the increasing minimum wages in many states, and the decline in starting families and raising (expensive) children.
> Using a statistical measure called "years of life lost," researchers found that COVID-19 strips more than a decade away from a person's life, on average. For men, the viral infection takes away about 13 years of potential life lived. For women, it's more like 11 years. Both numbers account for underlying long-term conditions.
