For me (1981) it's already 9%. That would mean that approx. 1 in 10 friends would already have died. I don't think thats remotely true for me. Most likely the global distribution of deaths is really uneven.

Guess I'll have no friends to avoid their deaths then. You're welcome, ex-friends!

They’ll still be dead to you. ;)

Wait, the human body makes a million red blood cells a second? That's kind of mind blowing.

The human body has 20-30 trillion red blood cells, roughly 80% of the total cell count in the body. So it’s not that surprising.

That's what surprised me, too. Our bodies don't really "feel" all that active (even on a cellular level).

And that’s -only- the red blood cells. Consider how that’s only a tiny portion of your body. Think of all the other cells everywhere else. Constantly dying and being born. Isn’t it every 7 years or so that pretty much every cell in our body’s rotated out?

The red blood cells are actually roughly 80% of all cells in your body.
