Check any major news source and you’ll undoubtedly see stories about the most recent bomb blast or terrorist attack. But deaths from terrorist attacks make cause only a fraction of worldwide deaths annually—it’s about one ten-thousandth. Meanwhile deaths related to kidney disease, suicides, or even unintentional falls account for far more every day. But even those are falling rapidly; premature deaths have dropped more than 10 percent since 2000. If we, as a society and as readers, focus more on disease research than cruise missile launches, then maybe headlines will start reflecting the great world we live in and not the death and despair.
