I know that the US has seen worse life expectancy trends than other high income countries in recent years, but I hadn't realised things were so bad across all ages - particularly people of working age. US 20-59 year olds are dying at several times the rate of their peers, and it's getting worse.

A 9-panel line chart with each panel representing trends in all-cause mortality rates since 1980 in the US and a range of high income countries including the UK, France, Canada and Japan. Each panel is an age group from 0-9, 10-19 etc. up to 80+. In each panel, the US line is both higher (i.e. higher mortality rates) and has a worse trend (rising or stagnant while others are falling).

When it comes to epidemic analysis software, there's documentation and there's documentation... Having talked with hundreds of learners and practitioners as part of the Epiverse initiative in recent years, it's clear it's not enough to just publish code - or even just document what functions do.
