Most Dangerous People in Your World

Post by John Goekler on Counterpunch
All statistics are in deaths per year in the US, based on statistics available in 2009

1. Yourself - between half a million and a million deaths due to "lifestyle disease" (smoking, lousy diets, lack of exercise, etc.)
2. A doctor - ~200,000 deaths due to medical errors
3. A coworker with an infection - ~75,000 deaths from diseases like flu or pneumonia
4. "Toxic agents" - ~55,000 deaths due to asbestos, lead, pesticides, household chemicals
5. Other drivers - ~42,000 deaths

The list continues, but notice that terrorists, lightning strikes, sharks, spiders, and other common fears are not on this list.
