Do the math,,, 40 per month times 12 months equal 480 per year divided by
260(for 260 million, our population) equals less than 2 new cases per
million per year....
Let's face it,,, what we have(TM) is extremely rare... probably 99 percent
of all the other illnesses have a higher rate of occurrence and therefore
are more well known..
