Its just > that poverty will kill around 60,000 people this weekend Assume a polupation of 1 million people. Ignoring the demographics, an average life expectancy of 72 years. For simplicity lets round the numbers and assume a life expectancy of 100 years (fudge a correction for summer vs winter) 10,000 people will die in Edinburgh this year. Of these approximately 2,500 will be from cancer and 3,000 from heart attacks and strokes. Approximately 50 will die in traffic accidents. Over a 3.5 day summit there will be about 100 people dying in Edinburgh. Next question please. ..d
