RE: FBI: More People Killed by Hammers, Clubs

Reuters...that would be england?
For 50-year-old men, taking a full-sized, 325 mg aspirin every day to prevent heart disease and stroke carries a risk of 10.4 deaths per 100,000 men per year over and above their overall death risk

the key word is 'risk', not actual deaths. How is that 'risk' calculated? Are there actual deaths to back it up or is it just guess work?

Whenever a journalist uses the words 'might', 'may', 'could', 'potential' or other such weasel words...I don't give it much credibility.

By the way...I was a Truck Driver for 25 years...according to the article I should be dead?

Speaking of 'credibility'.... Huff'n'puff...is not..

friendly advice. Use the following format to make your links look better,
open square bracket title close square braked open parenthesis url close parenthesis, that way you don't run quite the RISK of having people ignore your links.

Maybe....Could be...might...well it depends..

Thanks for the format tip, been away from Steemit for a long time. Had to relearn a bit of the format again.
Sorry for taking this post so far off topic
