Some positivity for your day!

Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We've come far, and have further to go!
Look, I feel like "children dead before 10" is a pretty upsetting and relevant statistic.
Don't worry the Anti-Vax movement is looking to bring back those numbers!
Hooray! :(
Yeah if I had to choose how to bump up the life expectancy, reducing child mortality would definitely be my first choice.
Sure, but it's not the same as 25 years old being mid-life.
I feel like you're just excited to share a fact about a common misconception rather than actually paying attention to what's being said. Infant mortality is still a bad thing. While it's true folks lived about as long less infant mortality is still a net improvement.
I'm paying attention. I feel like you just want to point out that it's a common misconception rather than engage with the fact that dying at 51 is very different from child mortality.
