stats bite, they can be made to say anything, seems you have to read the fine print with stats too, how many are affected by MS or how many have MS,

this shows how professional the news media is or isnt,when it comes to stats,
"1/3 of siu students need to use a calculator for math, blah blah blah, then he ends report with thats right 26 percent of kids need a calculator", so either the stats are not that important, the media doesnt care, or the reporter is a total yutz( i lean towards this one) or the info on stats was incorrect,

I am also at a lost, how they can generalize this illness, it does appear to be a climatically influenced illness, yet they can take the stats for a certain area and apply is in an assuming way, for the rest of the world,

I feel if you ask 1 billion or 500 million then I might take interest, they ask maybe 200,000 or 100,000 out of 6 billion, this does not impress me, sorry Laura I am not a stat fan, didn't mean to side track
