Are you sure there are that little physicians in Ukraine, lol? 😅

Yeah and probably having the same elitism problem were having in Australia. One expert recommended doubling the number of training places both for university and then in graduate internships but some people then started going on about "lesser quality applicants" getting in without acknowledging that despite a large growth in population the number of training places has remained fairly stagnant for the last 20 years and that even with doubling the number of places it would still be ridiculously competitive.

I might just be dumb but my brain keeps tricking me into thinking this being a chart about trend: e.g how likely will you be doing X when you are Y years old, instead of this being a distribution chart.

If you broaden the definition of "healthcare system," some of these things could be considered due to a bad healthcare system.

Suicide has almost no correlation with healthcare availability (or standard of living more broadly)

And it would be a gigantic stretch to say, blame motor vehicle deaths on the healthcare system.

What both of us are saying is that healthcare system is a factor in life expectancy, but you can't deduce from life expectancy how good a healthcare system is.

Yup this post is stupid af

This is not surprising nor beautiful data wtf? Not like Texas and Mexico shares a border with each other🤯I'm actually only a bit surprised about the fact that Asia is that close.

although the economy and standard of life is usually considered to be far better in the US than Cuba, but nontheless Cuba has managed to be on pair with the americans on life expectancy

Even at 53/1000 can still basically guarantee there'd be a shortage of GPs/family medicine drs. Too much work and not enough par compared to other specialities for most people, which is sad because it is the speciality that really is the most important and so many people could avoid seeing any other doctor if they received early, high quality primary care. For example my mother ended up in hospital for 4 days with a bladder infection because she couldn't get into the GP for 3 days before that so the infection had time to take hold.

80% of arcade gamers are seniors? I can’t refute that but it seems weird

Probably makes sense if Australia is 3.13... ugh

In a similar situation with China and Tiwan..

That's a contributing factor. The main factor is that our population is growing at a very high rate, and the rate of new graduating doctors can't keep up.

I just recently started watching Enterpise as well, and I totally agree. I cane in with low expectations, but have been pleasantly surprised. As another commenter said, Season 3 was a bit rough but all in all I've enjoyed the series.

This is an underrated comment.

The important question is: Why a line diagram?

Perhaps the title it trying to highlight that a single state of one country accounts for more trade than an entire continent and a multitude of countries that when combined still only make up Mexico second biggest trade partner?

They could have done the US in its entirety, but then it would be nearly ~$800b and would dwarf every other trade partner; or they could have compared it to all of North America, which isn’t that much different from just using all of the US—but when you look at just Texas, its still the single largest trade partner, ahead of the entire continent of Asia, but its a bit closer and more comparable while still highlighting the extreme difference in trade volume.

That's not exactly right. Maybe the store on the other side of the world is cheaper / has more goods. Case and point: Brazil biggest trade partners are China and the US and not its neighbors (although to be fair, Argentina comes 3rd)

I've never seen anything better than a 1:25k map, laid on the ground and oriented, for trying to make sense of the situation around you. I use the GPS on my phone to figure out where I am and Dioptera for taking bearings. But what do you use for an overall picture covering many square km; the tablet I would have to carry would crush me?

Your comments were less confusing than the graph, but thanks for the clarification. Either way, best of luck!

... Does 'break a leg' help or hurt your chances?

Well, healthcare system is not just having doctors and hospitals, promoting better eating, campaigns to safe drug usage, mental health support preventing suicides and others are all part of a good healthcare system. You can have the best doctors and hospitals, but you also make them accessible and promote good habbits in your population.

Does AMLO know this? He doesn't act like it.

It gets worse, see Russia at 26 (3.82) vs Australia at 40 (4.13)
