Do you know how many people died in mexico last year overall? This would help put the numbers in perspective. I know that the population of Mexico is approximately 110,000,0000 and I am trying to figure out roughly how many people die of heart disease and some of these other major causes. If you even had rough approximate statistics I would love that. 2. I want these statistics because a friend of mine is considering not visiting Guadalajara because of the Pig Flu and I want to show them with statistics misplaced that fear is. Do you have any suggestions on how I should do that? Thanks for a great post. Good post these are really interesting statistics, and useful to me
