Default Official. Fear of radiation kills more people than radiation

http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS...a_2808121.html

"The mental or physical burden of the forced move from their homes
because of the Fukushima accident was the cause of 34 early deaths, said
a report from Japan's Reconstruction Agency on 21 August. The figure
compares to 1916 people from Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi prefectures
that died during evacuation from areas hit only by the tsunami and the
earthquake. The leading causes of the majority of those early deaths
were disruption to the smooth operation of hospitals, the exacerbation
of pre-existing health problems, and the general 'mental fatigue' from
dramatic changes in life situation."

"If we took a 'do more good than harm' approach I suspect we would
abandon forced evacuation altogether, especially where iodine tables are
available"

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
