What's this?

You just changed the subject again. Oops.

The reason the statistics have any real meaning is precisely because those who are dying are human beings with families and friends. If we were talking about rat deaths, what’s another 5,000 to anyone? If that’s injecting feelings into statistics, then guilty as charged. It doesn’t make your argument any more valid.
