Just a note, this (and many) titles report _releative_ change as the percentage. E.g. 1% -> 1.5% report as "50% increase". It is IMHO very misleading. At one point I developed a gut reaction to any statistic "Relative or absolute".

6.9% vs 5.6%. Still a big increase and that's just the deaths. I would imagine that errors follow a similar curve.
