Taiye selasi explains why it is easier for Africans to accept child mortality. Her reasoning goes to the are of life being chaos and suffering and therefore it's better to leave beautiful things out of it.
She says, because Africans are very aware of beauty in life and the world they hesitate to name it.
Don't draw beauty into your chaotic mess by naming it.So you don't name a baby before it's second week

Just a sad tragedy - after decades of progress, this is where we are now. It might not feel obvious day to day, but rising inequality hits all of us eventually. #GlobalHealth #ChildMortality #PublicHealth #Crisis #USPol

You are right, an astonishing graph about how child mortality dropped.
But in the USA they will now reverse the trend. As the article says: child mortality is now such an 'uncommon experience that people have forgotten and want to ban vaccines.'
The USA will see many more children and parents suffering.

John Amato raises alarming concerns about a report from The Lancet Medical Journal. Significant funding cuts to USAID under the Trump administration could lead to 14 million additional deaths by 2030, with 4.5 million of those among children under five. The importance of USAID's initiatives can't be overstated, having previously prevented over 91 million deaths.

"Cultural historian Clair Wills has a family connection with Bessborough Mother and Baby Home in Cork, which by 1934 had the highest recorded infant mortality rate among all of Ireland’s mother and baby homes. “During 1943, three out of every four children born in Bessborough died – a mortality rate of 75%,” reported the BBC.
Her cousin, Mary, who was born there in January 1955, was one of the lucky ones who survived – but throughout her upbringing remained outcast from her entire extended family. After growing up in an orphanage, Mary met her own tragic end as an adult. The failures of past generations were reproduced in her experiences."

Whilst researching for a client over the weekend came across one of their ancestors who accordingly to 1911 census had 13 of which 10 were no longer alive, so far I have discovered 8 of the 13, including those who survived. Two of the deceased children were never named a both birth and death register entries only give surname. Such a tragic story to tell my client.

Centre suspends chief of institute that prepares family health survey
International Institute for Population Sciences Director KS James had reportedly been asked to quit as the government had reservations about some data sets.
The Wire reported that some of the findings of the National Family Health Survey-5 were at odds with claims made by the Narendra Modi government. The survey has punched holes in the prime minister’s claims of the country being open defecation free.

CW: Child mortality
“The poorer the children, the higher the risk of mortality, but nothing’s been done. We’re in a high-income country and this is on our doorstep. ... We talk about parental neglect a lot … but I see this as societal neglect.”
-- Prof Monica Lakhanpaul, University College London, on a study in JAMA Network Open by Prof Karen Luyt, University of Bristol.#ChildMortality #ChildDeaths #Poverty #England #Inequality #JAMANetworkOpen #UniversityOfBristol #UKpol
