17,000 children a day die needlessly 10 Years, 10 Months ago
This statistic was on BBC News yesterday - excellent report on Malawi. Now if I was PM I'd spend money wasted on DLT trial and other media inspired bollocks was sent instead to those saving lives in Africa. thechronicleherald.ca/world/1236726-chil...7000-a-day-still-die Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Chopra told The Associated Press that pneumonia and diarrhea are so widespread because they are easily transmittable. But he said those illnesses, along with malaria, are easily preventable with relatively inexpensive antibiotics. “It is very, very easy to prevent those three diseases from killing kids,” Chopra said. “An antibiotic is 10, 20 cents, and that saves the life basically.”

Good grief!

Exactly Jim; I really worry about our media when I have to search to find facts like that yet the papers are full of rubbish about whether or not Scotland remains in the UK and whether or not an old DJ squeezed some actress's tits.

... and then they grow up and get AIDS.

They need a complete re-education - not just some ten pence drug (that will "save" them for a day or two).

Let's start with contraception in the water supply !
