I’d say this is the least of Haiti’s problems right now, as virtually nobody there is expected to live long enough to develop any cancer or long-term heart disease.
- hnfong 3y agoA quick Google search indicates that life expectancy in Haiti is ~64 years. This is obviously inconsistent with what you're claiming.
- dralley 3y agoI doubt those numbers incorporate the chaos over the past few years, and I don't know that they'll be updated given the state of the government.
- sgjohnson 3y agoThat’s life expectancy at birth (which is still 30th worst in the world), and it doesn’t incorporate getting shot in a random act of gang violence at the old age of 17.
