If out of 100, bad. If out of 10,000, not so bad.

After all, the death rate for everybody is positive. Prisoners get sick. They fall down. They choke on their food.

Is the death rate significantly higher than the death rate for the general population?

If not, there is no evidence of anything wrong.

        No wonder. It's subtle, and there's a principle involved. - Bowser - 5/5/2004 7:10:12 PM
