A brief and highly inaccurate visual representation of what I was talking about in the last post. The majority of people who die in a society that has an ‘average life expectancy’ in the mid-thirties are very young and very old, NOT in their twenties, thirties, and forties.
Edited because you can’t really see the axis labels: the bars represent the percentage of the total mortality that occurs in those age brackets. So in the second graph, 36% of all deaths occur between the ages of 0 and 10 years, etc.

HEY HEY GUYS HEY GUYS THE BUBONIC PLAGUE HUNG AROUND EUROPE PERSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT THREE CENTURIES, WHERE MOST OUTBREAKS FIZZLED OUT ENTIRELY IN UNDER A YEAR
THE SOMEWHAT FREQUENT RETURN OF THIS DISEASE BETWEEN THE SMALLER EPIDEMICS OF OTHER DISEASES WAS A LARGE FACTOR IN THE OVERALL DEATH RATE
90% OF THE REASON WHY I HAVE A PHD IN EPIDEMIOLOGY IS THE BLACK DEATH
THE OTHER 10% IS CHOLERA
