World Clock is a Poodwaddle application that tells you how many babies are being born at this very moment or how many people have died from cancer. It also includes data regarding injuries, non-communicable and infectious diseases.
The stats provided here are approximations based on figures from World Health Organization, CIA Factbook, US Census Bureau, and other sources. Wherever possible we have verified the figures. However, due to the contradictory and dynamic nature of much of the data, we cannot guarantee their accuracy.
what a meaningful statistic, it might be useful.
