We agree with the main thrust of their Correspondence and believe that clarifying some details about the scope and implementation of our analysis could be helpful.
(2022-08-06). [Correspondence] COVID-19 and microbiome diversity in sub-Saharan Africa. thelancet.com We read with interest the COVID-19 Forecasting Team's description of the variation in COVID-19 infection—fatality ratio,1 confirming that differences in COVID-19 mortality between geographies are largely explained by the age structures of their populations. However, we fear that the lower than anticipated burden of severe COVID-19 in most of sub-Saharan Africa gets lost in estimations from models based on data from the few African countries that have reliable excess mortality data but are not representative of sub-Saharan Africa.
(2022-08-06). [Correspondence] Funding to treat malnutrition: a need for greater transparency. thelancet.com The Editors1 highlight the gap between the humanitarian need to treat millions of children with severe acute malnutrition and the amount of funding available. However, I fear that focusing solely on supply-side issues misses a major problem in the cost-effective use of funding. An example is the UN's adherence to the non-evidence-based stipulation that ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) must contain at least % of its protein from dairy. This 2007 stipulation corresponded to the only recipe available at the time.

(2022-08-06). [Correspondence] Troubling assumptions behind GBD 2019 on the health risks of red meat. thelancet.com We echo the compliments of Alice Stanton and colleagues1 to the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. We also support Stanton and colleagues' call for further clarification, justification, or reconsideration of the theoretical minimum risk exposure level of zero for unprocessed red meat selected by GBD in their latest estimates. Not only does the increase in the estimated burden appear implausible, but the lack of transparency in the assumptions underlying the calculations undermines the authority of the GBD estimates.
(2022-08-06). [Perspectives] A reckoning on how we live with pain. thelancet.com There are few experiences more quintessential to our shared humanity than that of pain. Our ability to experience the fullness of life is inextricably linked to our ability to experience, and ideally learn from, our discomfort. Yet our relationship to pain and the potential for suffering has fundamentally shifted in ways that adversely impact us personally, socially, and economically. Chronic pain is estimated to affect one in five adults worldwide and is one of the leading causes of disability in the USA.
