The New Cold War is China, not Russia. Russia Cold War is of the past. China Cold War is not just currently Communist!!! But is also currently a major economic problem and competitor. And, and this is also immensely critical, they are not white.

It\s really interesting to see how Chinese activities in Africa and SEA have created a strong dislike of them
Overuse of antibiotics in agriculture is thought to be a key driver of the rise in antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, but usage of the drugs is hard to track. In a study, researchers estimated global trends in veterinary use of antibiotics using data from governments, farm surveys and scientific articles. Antibiotic use is highest in Asia — particularly China. The researchers estimate that antibiotic use in animal farming will grow by 8% between 2020 and 2030.
That seems basically impossible to interpret without a denominator of some sort. Like just on the face of it why is Australia nearly as high as the US and why is Brazil way more than the US. Why such a gap between China and India. Is China's preponderance commensurate with its very high population and production or are other things going on.
I guess I should have added links, Writeup Paper, and if you want a denominatior of milligrams per biomass

Besides that the map is already answered, quick note on that:
- China is just a lot richer than India and can afford it
- Loads of cattle in Brazil
- Don't ask me about Australia. I'd not think that you give so much antibiotics to sheep
- maybe I should read this paper, mmhh...
Those areas correspond better with sheep grazing regions and maybe poultry rather than cattle (cattle tends to be further north and further inland, with cropping in between the two zones) but there's till some cattle in those hotspot areas too. I think a lot may be chickens, I found a report saying half of all veterinary antimicrobials sold in Australia were "the antimicrobial coccidiostats used to prevent coccidiosis disease in chickens".

I remember hearing about that with news agencies posting photographs of suspects. I'm not surprised it happens at the police force level as well. It is sad to hear about.

Being healthy is for Cultural Marxists!
Probably due to a combination of private (expensive) health care and unhealthy lifestyle?
Afaik the average here is still in the low to mid 80s. Not that 5-6 years are that great a difference, and probably not many 76 year olds are that enthusiastic about getting to 82.

People are generally not wanting to die even if their quality of life sucks
Opioids, covid and unhealthy eating/lifestyle habits. Healthy populations need less healthcare; USians are less healthy now than previously and are dying younger. When you add opioids and covid on top it just gets worse.

Having read the NPR piece it's pretty obvious that the US has less outcomes because the wealthy control our politics to such a great extent. We cannot take measures to increase public health that might reduce the profits of one industry or another; gun regulations are a fantastic example: the country is flooded with arms and that has obvious consequences but the gun industry has effective propaganda that millions of people either don't consider our gun deaths a problem at all or think it's a fair price to pay for some lunatic idea of freedom. We don't apply the precautionary principle to public health policy, instead we apply the "the rich should be able to make money off of this unless somone can prove beyond all reasonable doubt that it is harmful" principle. This is true across the board, from food and drugs to clean air and water regulations, to transportation - basically any policy area that impinges on human health.
Add to this the criminalization of reproductive healthcare in large swathes of the country and it's clear the problem is likely to get a lot worse in the near future.
