4040 - Death worries


Hopefully this will blow up big. It's a chart on actual causes of death, what people search for on Google, and what's reported on in the news. They don't exactly line up.

I think we all knew that ... it's just interesting seeing it with the data.

I get from this is that people worry about certain causes of death disproportionate to the actual risks. This is made worse by what the media chooses to cover. Let's face it: someone dying of cancer or heart disease is less newsworthy than one who is killed,

We tend to worry too much about the wrong things - generally the newsworthy ones.
