I simply averaged the four numbers on those countries. I’ll edit the post to have a weighted average by number of nets distributed.
I don’t know how to account for disproportionate early deaths in my calculations, since I don’t have data on the typical lifespan of, for instance, a Zambian who survives childhood.
Just to be clear: I am not objecting that your numbers are imprecise. Your argument doesn’t require precision. I have objected to incompatible levels of precision involved in the presentation: rough guesses and systematic errors of order 10% or more (some of them unavoidable) on the one hand and five-decimal figures on the other hand.
