Exactly, Gracie. There are approximately 300,000,000 in this country. Approximately 45% are over the age of 45 which is about 135,000,000 people. The fact that the number of STD cases went from 900 to 2500 in a decade is nothing. In fact they haven't given the amount that the population grew in that decade to balance off the increase in STDs.
Sometimes the number of cases, (of anything) is so small that event if it increases by tenfold, the number is meaningless. The increase amounts to approximately .0000001% of the population. Even if the rate in TV is 100 times that it may be three or four people.
