Not offhand. Offhand I don’t know a “figure” for any epidemic. For me #s are just a way to describe behavior. You may know how many bones are in a giraffe’s neck, I don’t. I know they are tall.
How many bones are there in a giraffe’s neck? Just like humans, giraffes have seven neck vertebrae. For giraffes, however, each one can be over 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) long!
There is an official record out there for all diseases.
We may not like the numbers and criticize them, but when
reading back about the disease a decade from now, it’s all
you have to go by.
Otherwise all you have to go by is, “Well, it was pretty bad.” “How bad?” “Well I don’t know, but it was pretty bad.”
