And Voila! within a few seconds you've just helped correct a major problem! There are two more sectors with the same issue however... there's still more incorrect info.
Under common , on that first About Tab where they have 200K to 3M US cases per year its actually 21,870 cases of acute Hepatitis C virus infections reported in the United States in 2012, and an estimated 3.2 million persons in the United States have chronic Hepatitis C virus infection.
So please put: "About 22k new cases per year, 3.2 million Chronically infected persons in the US."
Under treatment Tab,
The Prescription category :
"Simeprevir rarely used in US. Should be sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (Harvoni) or ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir + dasabuvir (Viekira Pak), with or without ribavirin"
And for Procedures:
Liver transplantation not common.
Thank you Rick!
