It was worse than I even thought.
Still, lots of interesting things going on here.
I know we've all been talking about vaccines but I'm not sure what part of this decrease is due to that. I suppose better nutrition and overall medical care helped too.
And what happened in the 1870's and 80's?
There's a bump around 1920--was that the Spanish flu?
Interesting that the 1930's, despite economic hardship, child mortality continued to decline.
But I also, if I'm reading this correctly, it was still somewhere around 2-3% in 1970. That's my cohort. I had no idea.
