Do you have a source for that stat? What the hell does it even mean? That over 4 in 10 people in Kenya die over what period of time? In a year? That makes no sense.

Now of course Rojo writes some nonsense now and then but in his defense what the hell is the message board about? Sometimes the reason you come here is for trolls like Rojo and of course all of you opened the thread even if to see the car wreck.

Ryan Shay and Jeff Drentz in addition to those that have been mentioned. Rojo continues his hot streak of clueless ‘journalism’. WTF is up at Cornell?

He needs meds
USA wins again!
British life expectancy 81.2
Swiss life expectancy 83.7
American life expectancy 78.7
Kenyan life expectancy 66.5
Statistically, tragic but not unexpected occurrences. Not unexpected that we'll known athletes will be caught up in these, statistics. Move to Switzerland if you want a long, healthy life. Or even Canada or Britain.
These are 2019 figures. Not sure what the figures will be after covid but it will be interesting if Kenyan life expectancy doesnt adjust all that much and American does.

All sad stories, but none of them are world/Olympic champions.
America has plenty of champions, just not at distance running. I can’t think of any that died in their 20s.
I feel like people try to be extra critical of Rojo’s posts.

Death is much more common in Kenya due to the dangers of driving, inferior medical care, etc. I'm well aware of that.
Death is fairly universal as far as I can ascertain.
Don't upset rojo's hubris. He believes that trust funds, total rest from chronic unemployment and the general dubya lifestyle will save him.

ehhhh, can you google or is that to tough for you?
"The adult mortality rate shown in the World Development Indicators (WDI) database and related products refers to the probability that those who have reached age 15 will die before reaching age 60 (shown per 1,000 persons). In other words, a value of 150 means that out of 1,000 persons who have reached age 15, 150 are expected to die before reaching age 60, and 850 are expected to survive to age 60. This is based on a “synthetic cohort”: current life-table mortality rates are applied to the current cohort of 15 year olds, assuming no changes in mortality."
