Deaths from “Swine Flu” in perspective

If I had £1 for every person that died of so-called “swine flu” between 24th April and 6th May I would have £31 and would be able to buy a fairly decent meal.
My stack of coins would be just under ten centimetres tall.

If I had £1 for every person that died of tuberculosis between 24th April and 6th May I would have £63,066 and would be able to buy a fairly decent two-bedroom house in Liverpool.
My stack of coins would be just under 200 metres tall.
