Some fears get attention that's out of proportion to the associated risk. Please use this wiki to keep track of how overblown media-pushed a given risk is.<br />
<br />
The metric I'll use is the Google Hits per Annual Fatality (GHAF). To calculate the GHAF for a certain risk, divide the number of Google hits a term finds by its annual fatality rate.<br />
<br />
==Between 1 and 10==<br />
* Malaria in Africa (GHAF = 1.5, 3 000 000 Google hits [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22malaria%22+africa&btnG=Search] per approximately 2 million deaths [http://www.ifrc.org/WHAT/health/archi/fact/fmalar.htm])<br />
<br />
==Between 10 and 100==<br />
* Cancer in the United States (GHAF = 94, 53 600 000 hits [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Cancer+united+states&btnG=Search] per 570 280 deaths: page 1 of [http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/uscs/pdf/2002_USCS.pdf], .pdf warning: 6 MB)<br />
<br />
==Between 100 and 1 000==<br />
<br />

<br />
==Between 100 000 and 1 000 000==<br />
* School shooting deaths, United States (GHAF = 108 857; 762 000 Google hits [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22school+shooting%22&btnG=Search] per 7 annual deaths [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_massacres](including Virginia Tech, excluding non-shooting fatalities and not including the shooter, if killed)<br />
