Also you know what beats out all those bad things?
Deaths from fucking car accidents which happen waaaaaaay more often in suburban and rural areas.
Only on a technicality. You're never more than 5 minutes away from an ER in the city so of course you have a better chance to survive. Most small towns are 30 minutes away from an ER, if that. Unless you believe rural people are genetically pre-disposed to car accidents then the problem is lack of public infrastructure.
This has the same understanding as quoting FBI crime by race statistics without the overall societal context.
Yes. That’s it. I never claimed it had anything to do with something inherent to the people who live in suburban and rural areas, but in those areas people drive more and at higher speeds, which means more deaths.
If you built a robust bus network in every town of 1000 people it might fix that problem but those towns don’t have that.
