Crazy Brits
No seriously. Apparently, at least according to the BBC, the U. K. will be chock full of dementia by 2051.
Currently 700,000 - or one person in every 88 in the UK - has dementia, incurring a yearly cost of £17bn.
By 2051 the figure will be 1,735,087 - an increase of 154% from now -, which will mean dementia will affect the lives of around one in three people either as a sufferer, or as a carer or relative.
I wonder what the figures are for the U. S.?
Things are going alright. Sickness is over. Visit from parents is over. Mid-semester grades and comments are...in process. Life is chugging along and bitsyboo remains fabulous as always. It seems unreal that LARP season is starting up again. The drives are going to be killer, especially with these high gas prices.
Be well.
