The only easy explanation that comes to me immediately is that it’s 365 children per year and the rest are adults. The calculator says that’s 272 adults per child.

That sounds too high to me. I’d bet he’s off by some order of magnitude, maybe a child per hour instead of per day, for example.

According to WHO, it’s 3000 children per day.

But then that’s 1.1M/year, which means the article is still really screwy.
