This disease has brought such tragedy to so many, and is isn't finished.
By the way, I saw a report that India has the most people infected with HIV, like 5.7 million, but only a small percentage know they have it, like 5% or something. Do you know how they generate the 5.7 million figure out of that? I don't doubt that there are a lot of unfortunate people in India stuck with this virus, but sometimes statistics puzzle me.
You're asking ME, an English teacher who freely admits that figuring tips is a challenge, to explain STATISTICS?!
I'm betting that the figures are gotten at by some sort of complicated formula that estimates a projection based on a known set of numbers. Really, though? I'm just guessin' here.
JKR, if you're reading this, can you shed some mathematical light?
