This is why sports columnists should not write about health statistics, at least not without asking, So what does that mean? Think about it — If I had 10 babies, one MIGHT live. C'mon. DRC has a population of roughly 60 million, so that means that if all the infants had lived, they'd have a population of 750 million? No, I don't think so.”
