People get surprised that in Spain the lunch hour is around 13:30 instead of 12:00. But when you take into account the sunrise/sunset times it corrects part of the difference.
Maybe a fix: reduce working hours (school time, etc.). That will save lives and facilitate a more healthy population.
We have the data. We know the causes of why people are dying. News makes us more worried about terrorist attacks, that kill really very few people and have no impact beyond the publicity that news provides than the real risks to our health.

We don't need to do everything perfectly. We do not need to panic. But, we can improve a lot how we deal with risks to our health.
