That would include the myriad of allergy conditions as well as all the psychological disorders that have manifested themselves over recent decades.

Learn the difference between "chronic" illness and "acute"

Chronic illnesses don't kill you. They annoy the fuck out of you and affect the quality of life.
You can't claim a higher mortality rate from "chronic illnesses"
Generally speaking, a lot of what were once acute illnesses are now able to be downgraded to chronic - and managed.
that's where the significant drop in deathrates has come from.

On the other hand, you I'd describe as a chronic pain in the arse.

Where did I say anything about a higher mortality rate?

You need to take a look at the world around you.

So we're to look around, and forget history? You tell us we have it worse than ever before then tell us not to look at the before? You're a special sort of stupid aren't you?

You can remember history all you like.

But history doesn't change the fact that today there is a far greater range of chronic illness and disease than ever before.

Actually that's exactly what history changes, see, when we look back and see more chronic illness and disease than we do now, what it means, is you're full of shit. It's a thing with numbers, unfortunately they go higher than 23 so you can't use you fingers and toes to understand them I guess...

That's acute disease, I believe Grumph already pointed this out.

Do you think there hasn't been an increase in the range of allergies and the number of people affected?

On te News tonight a lad was interviewed and came across well for a 10 Y.O. His sister on the other hand was certain that the stuff came from a green truck passing the school....So a potential conspiracy theorist starting young....
