So most of you have likely checked out this hunger website by now. And - everyone
is right - its neat.
I was thinking - could we do such a site and have it flash each time a person
becomes ill, or dies, as a result of economic inequities. ????? Is such a thing
doable? Has anyone ever taken our readily available morbidity/mort stats, and
applied some basic assumptions - based on impacts of health determinants data? If
we could do that, then we could do things like, "every red flash is a child being
neglected/abused", "every green flash is a wetland being disrupted" ??
Just a thought to muddle on I guess. Anyway - its a nifty website.
