Default Life expectancy.
I was just checking the one for people in Britain, and its close to 80.
Pretty good, that means most people will life till they are old and Grey.

Then I checked for where I, from Senegal, and its like 55!
Shocked me, I really never knew that, because most people I know live till they are old. I figured, its probably because there is a huge mortality rate for infants, and kids who are less than 5 years old.

Just wanted to bum yall out during these festive days!

Its good to know these things, as much a people complain about living conditions, Its a good count your blessings lesson.

Its really apparent, when you compare L.E., for different regions of the world.

Yeah, he is. He is a son of immigrants, so he's spent most of his life in the US. I am like him in many ways, I only lived back home until I was 7.
But its ridiculous to see the gap, of miore than 25 years, if you happen to live in a certain country.

I was shocked when I heard Glasgow's life expectancy is somewhere between 40 and 60

Is that the world's lowest? Thats crazy!!!

39?

Not surprising though, because people only care, when their interests are at stake. (Ie: Irak, Iran, Afghanistan..etc.)

I remember a programme a while ago, they went round a graveyard in Glasgow and found the average age of death was about 55
