We have a population of 4 to 6 million chronic HCV patients in the USA.



This CDC site shows 3.2M.

http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/HCV/index.htm

I think that is high - more like 2.8M in one recent study. Can't find the link right now.

More here:

Only 17,000 new cases per year since 2010. Note back in 1999-2001 there were about 4.1M chronic HCV infected.


It is astonishing what foolish things one can temporarily believe if one thinks too long alone ... where it is often impossible to bring one's ideas to a conclusive test either formal or experimental. J.M. Keynes
