It's just a bit cheesy from beyond the fourth wall perspective.

I had just started. I moved away from pictures quickly, just because it was hard to do believably.

Blargh, I'm arguing with someone on
youtube
that attributes the US having an equivalent lifespan to Cuba as being down to either "exogenous factors such as accidents and homicides" or obesity rather than the system of healthcare. The homicide rate in 2010 was under a third of the Harvard Medical School's predictions for the number of Americans that die each year due to lack of healthcare... Even adding automotive accidents to the list barely exceeds the figure and we'd have to discount these from any country under comparison too. The only figure that dwarves it at almost double the number of deaths that could be roughly filed under accidents are iatrogenic deaths, which is hardly something you'd want to tout in a comparison of systems of healthcare.
More substantial is the argument forwarded that Americans make poor choices as evidenced in prevalence of overweight and obese citizens. I'd argue this was a failure of the "rational actor" theory which indicated the necessity of government intervention, even if it allowed the Competitive Enterprise Institute to compare Michelle Obama to Hitler (at the prompting of the
Daily Show
writers, I guess).
That said, it doesn't pan out for
infant mortality rates
, if my reasoning is correct. Roughly 34% of
US women are obese
, compared to roughly 24% of
UK women
. According to
this study
, obese women are roughly 34% more likely to give birth to a dead child. If we take the UK levels as baseline, then we should expect the increase accountable to obesity to be roughly 34% of the additional that are obese 10%, but I forgot how to work out percentage increases so I pegged that as a 4% higher rate, when we actually see something like 77% higher rates (actually, it may be 23%, as I said, I forgot how to work out percentage increases).
At any rate, I'm fairly sure I'm going to fail my research methods and statistics unit.

Awful things happen when Orranis is on vent.
Corpse: Buy me chocolates
Corpse: And send them to me from Sweden.
Elura: how about
Elura: no
Elura:
send me nudes
and i'll consider it
Corpse: If I'd actually get chocolate out of it, and I mean a lot.
Corpse: I just might.
Holy role reversal.
