But i knew that it was only a cold and people get sick all the time
Then, i wondered what kind of disease do people die often from?
I did a little research on the stuff and found out some stuff.

Contrary to my belief, lower respiratory was what killed most people on the planet.
I've always thought it was AID/ HIVS, but it was still second most highest.
well, knowing what disease kill people most might seem depressing, but who knows
maybe it'll be in jeopardy
