What’s Killing Us: Infographic Edition

Cause of Untimely Death

This awkward infographic comes to us from the Twitter feed of Bill Gates. Ther are some curious choices about the design choices, but it gets the facts across and alerts some things I did not know. For example, deaths caused by typhoid increased between 2005 and 2010. It is not surprising to see that natural disasters are taking more lives too early.

What stood out to you when first looking at the inforgraphic?
