Trying to follow….Your math in the 10-14 year old all cause death example showed 6.1 and then you said it was 4.58 deaths per 100,000. Can you please make that more understandable?

I'm no math expert, either, but that's simple math and I don't see any way to get from 6.1 to 4.58 using the data immediately above the section. So I suspect it's a typo. But if it is, that's a significant problem when presenting the article to others because someone who would make such a significant typographical error on an issue this serious can easily be questioned as to their degree of attention to detail. As such, while I understand what he's attempting to show and the data seems to support it, I can't share the article as written until further explanation is provided or the typo (if that's what it is) is corrected.
Yes, that confused me, too. I had some trouble understanding a lot of this Exposé article (not the first time I've found their math and graphs opaque). As someone pretty hopeless with math, I'd appreciate some extra help.
