I heard on the news the other day that more people are coming back to the UK with malaria than ever before. As with any media stats though they need to be taken in context.

For instance a rise in something of say 100%, may mean that it was previously 1 in 10,000 of the popualtion and is now 2. The first one the media use because it is alarming, the second stats are the same but give the real picture.
