I just noticed that if you move the mouse over any country on the map, it gives the name of the country and the death rate for that disease, without having to scroll through the list of countries.
If you compare the statistics for the U.S.A. and Europe and compare them to Japan and India... or many other countries... imagine the savings in heath-care costs if we could have their statistics! There is no Pharma drug anywhere that reduces any disease rate as much as being them instead of being us.
And, how much research is done in that direction? One Pharma newsletter now says it can take up to $1.5 Billion to launch a new Pharma drug.
Fortunes are spent to gain a marginal advantage over the placebo effect.
But nobody looks across the street and says, "Errrr, we got 10 times more of this disease than they got across the street. And they don't even try. Errrr, whassup, doc.?"
