Watch it all and note that women are hit particularly hard. A watershed, says one speaker. Worthy of careful thought.

One comment on “Life expectancy declining in the Deep South

  1. phil swain says:

    1) except for flashing a map to which no reference is made this T.V. report says nothing about the “Deep South”;
    2) it is unclear whether the Harvard report is an analysis of the “latest government data” from 1960- 2000 or new data since 2000. I assume the harvard report is analysis of the data from 1960-2000 showing that not all parts of the country shared equally in the overall increase in life expectancy;
    3) nothing in the T.V. report supports the reporter’s assertion that projects an overall decrease in life expectancy;
    4) the subject may be “worthy of careful thought”, but nothing in this T.V. report would lead a reasonable person to conclude that;
    5) perhaps these doom and gloom reports have more to do with the fact that we’re in an election year.
