Autoimmune = chronic diseases
The other day I came across an article that shook my imagination - again
For some time my brain started creating kind of SF movie on what planet Earth will look like after 50 years.
It was definitely a pessimistic movie.
Judge for yourself
The rising cost of chronic diseases… is threatening health systems and economic stability around the world.
…analyzed information on the direct and indirect costs of chronic diseases to society. It found that productivity-loss associated with workers who have chronic disease are 400 % more than the cost of treatment…
Severe warning comes in research prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) together with the World Economic Forum…
Major result is… that incidence of chronic disease is growing “at an astonishing rate”. According to the report, chronic diseases account for 57 % of all deaths annually , and expected to rise by 23 % till 2030.
Honestly, the movie, created by my brain wasn’t pleasant at all. Who could love such ‘bright’ future?
Regretfully, just such kind of future is coming. It’s not too far already - just over the corner.
Who will follow me in our family:
- my children?
- their children?
