It's almost like we're letting a deadly disease run unchecked through our population because the bosses want to make more money.
Yeah. Unchecked Capitalism will do that.
Depression, anxiety, dementia and chronic liver disease are emerging as some of the fastest-growing chronic conditions.
Woooh yeah deaths of despair baby!
Society is going strooooong
All we've done is massively increase inequality, poisoned the world, taken an axe to social services, and let everyone get infected with a virus that causes cumulative brain and heart damage. Who could have predicted this?
I'm shocked, shocked and appalled I tell you.
I miss thinking the future was gonna get better but neoliberalism had entrenched itself so firmly in politics/APS/economics most people don't even realise it's an ideology and not fact, most of the contamination (plastics, pfas, agrichems) are long lived and we're also dependant on them, and climate change is about to get mega spicy if the models are correct and Indonesian, Indian, and islander people are gonna be (rightly) demanding some of this continent's habitable land.
interesting times ahead for us!
Deaths of despair and/or social murder! ☝️ (Due to Shit Life Syndrome)
And yeah… India has already been experiencing 50C heat waves
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Australia's population is ageing, and requiring more primary care than ever with more people living with a chronic disease, and spending more time in ill health.
This amount ranked Australia in 15th place in terms of health spending as a proportion of GDP out of 38 other OECD nations.
That's expected to increase, with health authorities saying more people will likely have multiple chronic conditions.
"[It is] due to the common risk factors and disease pathways that chronic conditions share," the report read.
It was the first time in more than half a century that an infectious disease has been in the top five leading causes of death in Australia.
"The continuous trend of life expectancy improvement, maybe running out of steam a bit," he said.
