This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Roughly 5.75 per 100,000 people/year, versus 1.33 per 100,000. So closer to 4x. But even then, we're talking about a 0.04% change in incidence.
A bit like saying you're 5x as likely to win the lottery.
France is at around 1.3, Germany at around 0.9, UK somewhere in between, if a quick search is to be trusted.
And I think change in incidence is a weird way to express this. Yes, the average person is not likely to die of homicide, even in "unsafe" countries. But at the same time, the chance of a man to get testicular cancer is around 0.01%; if I would be 5 times as likely to get testicular cancer than the people from other places, I would very much want to look into that.
Okay, but that's it. Full stop. Minor variations don't say much about these countries.
Then the risk is still microscopic, especially with the variance by neighborhood and income and circumstance.
