Oklahoma actually went down in life expectancy. Super interesting to me. Thanks for sharing

This is fascinating - on the one hand yeah, it’s a tragedy to have the same life expectancy after a friggin century of modern medicine, but on the other, the US life expectancy was already way ahead even in 1900. In Eastern Europe we only started seeing US’s southern states’ 1900 numbers in the 80s and 90s.
