    When they analyzed their survey data, they estimated that nearly 6 percent of CAR’s population died within 2022, in a country with a median age around 15. Scaling for population size, this toll would amount to a loss of more than two New York Cities.

    Holy Fuckballs Batman…

    Apparently there are other countries with such dramatically low median ages: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_median_age

    But still this would lower the CAR figured by 5 years from the UN and CIA numbers for 2020. That is horrific.
