Death is inevitable. In these dangerous times, it can arrive in the form of a handshake, a speeding car or a cancerous heart. But human beings are programmed to beat the odds. The question is – do you know what the odds are?
We need a reality check.
Swine flu has been making headlines. But contrary to most people’s perceptions of the impact of the H1N1 pandemic, driving down Dubai’s roads is actually deadlier. In fact, the common flu causes more deaths each year, than swine flu.
There are other threats around us that need to be addressed. Obesity and diabetes have led to heart diseases becoming one of the leading causes of deaths in the UAE.
As the numbers climb and statistics jar you from your comfort zone, it may be time to understand what the facts mean.
The analysis may surprise you.
(yes, I will recycle my words =P!)
