This is incredible !!!

Take a look at this site. It is unbelieveable!

Look in particular at how many people are dying or ebeing infected with various diseases... especially diabetes! You can look at year, month, week, day values on the toolbar and change the clock to whatever you wish.

Wow! A little bit scary but wow none the less.

It's sad to think that so many are still suffering from "Cureable" illnesses such as TB/Malaria, where we have readily avalibale treatments, but only at a price (fine for rich countries!).

Although there are a lot of people dying from Diabetes it still isn't as high as the number of people dying from traffic incidents. So I will take that to mean I face more danger crossing the road than dying from diabetes. I'd also like to think that that is because of improved medical care rather than dangerous drivers....

Hi Beanie,

No it's because the drivers are probably diabetic and having hypos !!!!!!



Take care

I looked at it yesterday and was rather amazed at the birth/death rates. In less than a minute there was almost 300 births with barely 100 deaths. No wonder we are running out of room.
