We are getting healthier

[Guest guest]

Thought this 'you tube' short video from BBC4 offers an amusing and interesting

take on the past 200 years of health around the world.

Thanks Anne

fascinating - I was curious as to the identity of the one red dot up

with the western dots, but he didn't comment on it, .......Hong Kong I

suppose.

(The link was fine ) ( I think most mail programs automatically

create a hyperlink (?) from a web address, there's sometimes a problem

with longer ones, but shorthish ones are very straightforward - isn't

software clever.....)

Hi,

Interesting presentation. I note that the wealth increased significantly

before health. Of course, health (as defined here as life expectancy -

that is a whole different discussion!) improved due to changes in water

supply and housing conditions, not because of technological or medical

advances.
