Mortality Rates above Emergency Threshold

Re https://healthyalgorithms.wordpress.com/?p=2750 , PLoS NTD published the paper I reviewed for them, too: http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0003181

Cool to see it in print. I wanted them to comment on the missing youth in their population pyramid, but I did not demand it:

missing_youth

I think the authors felt it was too speculative.
