What I am getting at is how deaths are reported. Is there a way of ascertaining the number of people who died of, for example, cancer, and the increased incidence of various cancers? We are told there is an increase in cancer rates throughout the country. I would like to get the figures to substantiate that, if it can be substantiated.
