Over the past 3 years there have been consistently fewer U.S. shark attacks. According to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File, there were 50 attacks in 2007, 41 in 2008 and 28 in 2009. The 28 attacks break down as follows: Florida - 19, California - 4, Hawaii - 3, Georgia - 1, Texas - 1. Surfers are the most common victims, followed by people wading in the water. Some experts attribute the decrease in shark bites to fewer people going to the beach - to the recession taking a bite out of shark attacks.
The recession has also taken a bite out of U.S. highway deaths. According to the Transportation Department, there were 33,963 highway deaths in 2009. That's down 9% from 37,261 deaths in 2008 and is the lowest number of deaths since 1954. In 2008 the number of deaths per 100 million vehicle miles was a record low 1.25. In 2009 it was even lower - 1.15. Safety experts attribute the decrease to increased seat belt use, targeting more drunk drivers, better traffic law enforcement and the economy. In bad economic times there's less discretionary driving. Americans are less "driven".
In spite of the economy, there are more retail clinics in 2010; and they're expanding into chronic disease treatment. When clinics inside pharmacies originated in the mid-2000's, more then 90% of visits were for conditions like strep throat, upper respiratory infections and urinary tract infections - conditions comprising 18% of visits to primary care doctors. Now there are 1,200 clinics in 32 states used by 11% of Americans. Considering almost two-thirds of retail clinic patients don't have primary care doctors, retail clinic treatment of chronic conditions like asthma, high blood pressure and high cholesterol will ease the chronic need for primary care doctors.
A new law in the 2010 health care bill will ease the need for calorie information. It requires all restaurants with 20 or more locations to have calorie counts on menus, menu boards and drive-throughs. It will supersede city and state laws, with the FDA creating a national standard for menu labeling. Although some meals will be exempt - like specials on menus less than 60 days - the law also applies to vending machine food - specifically those without calorie listings on the fronts of packaging. Having calorie counts next to menu items is like having new food - for thought.
