Of course thats me using them to the point of absurdity.. That was my point.. stats mean nothing without context..

I then provided you with many.. One showing a near 10 fold decrease in new infections..

Anyway, I'm bored with this.

So it was bloke down the pub staistics again was it.. THATS what pi55es me off !!!

I am always up for reasonable dabate on the subject but lets keep it at least factual.. Gueswork and scaremongering does no one any good in the control of this disease..

You have to remember NGO's get funded on reports.. Alarmist reports get more money.. That money is not direct at the actual problem solving like the carillion center but used to keep more and more beaurocrats and bean counters employed..

And yes Aoms story is a heartbreak..
