He cites mortality declines from 19.8 to 11.6 per 1000 since 1880 and links hundreds of thousands saved lives to disease control, urban outbreaks, and improved sanitation. He references New Orleans and Chicago epidemics of yellow fever, cholera, and typhoid to illustrate historic death spikes and compares past and present death causes using Prudential Insurance data.
