        @lmsergio @Atul_Gawande @cdc Paper says 77% of counties in top quartile, not 77% of all vision loss. Seems like a key difference.

        @Atul_Gawande @CDC @calestous I know poverty is prob a big contributer, but you have to consider there are a lot more counties in South.

        @Atul_Gawande @skamille @cdc "77.3% of the U.S. counties in the top quartile of SVL prevalence were located in the South" doesn't mean that.
