Those are bonkers (low) numbers compared to the 3.5M (human?) cases if I'm to believe the GPs comment. It's also crazy how much Mother Theresa's quote rings true, even in reverse ("If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will.") When I initially read 3.5M cases, I thought "wow, that's a lot", and somehow the 445 animal cases in Cameroon felt (at first) more real and similarly "a lot". No comment other than interesting how our human brains work and distort how numbers "feel". Once my rational brain kicked in, realized that's over 5,000 years for the current number of animal cases to match the former number of human cases. The future is awesome. | ||

If you halve the cases every year you'll eradicate it in a generation. | ||
