I imagine this understates the problem too, since many die before getting a transplant. Another way of reporting the data would be something like "days until 50% of people get transplant" after requesting.

Survival analysis is the general statistical domain for dealing with this type of problem.

Honest question- is this subreddit supposed to be about the data being presented in a visually appealing fashion? Or is it supposed to be just about a presentation of data that the general redditor would like to see?

Because if it's about the former, this is not great- it's just a bar graph containing 4 cherry-picked countries presented in a fairly standard manner. If it's the latter, then it's fine. No disrespect meant, I'm just wondering.

Why the hell are so many kidneys available in China? Where are those kidneys coming from? Are you telling me that there are that many donors that they can turn kidneys that quickly?
