COPD: The Differences Between The Diseases We Donate To, And The Diseases That Kill Us


Julia Belluz created the infographic below to compare how much money is donated to fight various disease and how many people in the USA die from those same diseases. She wrote: The choices we make about where to donate money for health causes aren't always rational. We are probably more often driven to give by a disease that has touched a loved one than by utilitarian calculations about which illnesses impact the most people or receive the least investment from pharmaceutical companies.
You can see COPD discrepancy on the graphic which is pretty striking, and certainly worth thinking about!

There are no important and less important diseases, but we can see this simplistic approach in health care systems all over the world!

  1. I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared.
