New York Post - STUNNING DROP IN DEATH RATE

I gave a start when I read this headline. Then I thought, no, the death rate is still the same. One to a customer. In fact the most accurate headline of all is the one at the top of this post. Nearly every person reading this will be dead in 7 decades.

If there are 6.5 billion on the earth today and we have normal accident, war and infant death, to say 8 billion people will die in 80 years (7 complete decades) is not a hard statistic to accept.

I just had to wonder at the idea that somehow we are beating death or that the death rate is being reduced.

Ain’t nobody getting outta here alive.
