Oh well. At least my bolding and italicizing worked... until the end. That last para shouldn't be bold.

At any rate, in the 3 main countries the survivability appears to be 51%; the numbers elsewhere are too small to be reliable but appear superb so far.

It's kind of neat (in the tidy sense) that there are 3 majorly affected nations, one an ex-French colony, one and ex-British colony, and one an ex-American settlement. If each of those rich western nations takes the forefront in helping the particular nation they originally helped found/imposed on the natives of the original local ethnic groups, it's a nice division of labor. At least they aren't all French; we (the US) really wouldn't care.
