What is life like at different levels of GDP per capita?

In this new chart I visualised it for 12 different dimensions.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@Paulmillerart Wow! That is unbelievably wonderful.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain Booooooooo

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain @latsot Aha, ok.

[Margaret McCartney @mgtmccartney]

the @ASA_UK complaint I made was upheld about Do Health @drchatterjeeuk. Commercial screening brings false positives, false reassurance, overdiagnosis.
Will the @gmcuk act on the dozens of drs making false claims and have commercial conflicts of interests?

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain @latsot Not sure you'd like keema tbh (if it is what I think it is).

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain @latsot Arghhhh. When your own immune system turns on you. Not. Bloody. Fair.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@indoors_remain @latsot It's linked to lots of serious conditions, sadly.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@latsot @indoors_remain Indeed. Some viruses are particularly prone to do this, e.g. EBV

@indoors_remain Nervous system going berserk?

@beanbaglabs Sarcasm?

Maybe if they had built (any) reservoirs in the last 30 years/taken measures to reduce evaporation from existing reservoirs/fixed the prolific number of leaking pipes we wouldn't be in *such* a terrible situation? Yes, obv climate change hasn't helped, but where was the planning?

[BBC Sussex @BBCSussex]

Following reports that Ardingly Reservoir could dry up within weeks, South East Water have said that standpipes remained part of the company's drought plan but were unlikely to be needed.

[Captain Science @_captainscience]

@sewateruk How many reservoirs have you built? And when? When was the last time you increased capacity? Which decade?

Did you have any contingency plan for the seemingly inevitable climate change?
Do you have any means of reducing evaporation from reservoirs during the >30°C summer days?
