Re: OT: Despair
Considering I do voluntary work on a telephone helpline to give emotional support to distressed and suicidal people you'd think I'd know these statistics.
*rummages*
Ok, These are World Health Organisation estimates and statistics.
They believe in 2005 AIDS claimed between 2.8/3.6 million.
They believe that since the millenium Suicide has claimed between 750,000 - 1 million people a year.
Cancer claims 7 million a year, with 11 million newly diagnosed cases every year, estimated to be 16 million by 2020.
