This map is very bad since

1. Most countries have "no data"

2. Those that do show an absolute number instead of a percentage, which makes the data essentially useless.

3. Many countries have this number so large that it sounds like "all of them" (How many children there are in China compared to the 106 mln quoted, and of what age?) and one would expect more granularity at this point. Did they actually test 105 mln Chinese children? Does Serbia even have 900k children in the whole country?
