Has anyone done a update
We haven't had good World Health Organization (WHO) data for a few years. There is a study in the US (in only a few states) where data is being collected from medical records. This is not nearly enough. With inter-marriage and migration of people globally, I'm sure the global numbers are higher than 5% today.
