The language of Numbers: The sick Egyptians

I gathered these numbers from several newspapers and magazines in the past few weeks ,there are not so cheerful.

  • 90% of the street children are threatened to carry HIV due to the homosexual practices and drug abuse
  • There are 8 Million Egyptians suffering from Hepatitis mainly HCV and HBV "concentrated in Upper Egypt especially Qena"
  • There are 6 Million Egyptians suffering from diabetes "I think that this number is smaller than the actual real number"
  • There are 10 Million Egyptians suffering from asthma and allergy "Say hello to pollution and black cloud"
  • There are 600,000 Egyptians suffering from tuberculosis "Thanks to Shisha"
