"What about Hiroshima then and now?"

Other than people killed from the immediate effects of the blast and radiation, Hiroshima's death rate is now LOWER from all causes compared with other similar cities.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts, died not too long ago at the age of 93. It may be anecdotal, but I hve also heard that there are quite a few survivors who are enjoying good health. I don't know if this is due to hormesis or the life-long medical care they are receiving.
