Death by suicide is very common. In the US there is one death to suicide every 13.3 minutes. In the UK about 12 men die each day.

Sorry to nag, but there is no reason to put those similar metrics in two different "measurements". That just makes the ratio blurry.

Replying to an old comment:

You're right. I tend to not change the numbers when I quote them. That makes it easier for people to check that I am accurately reporting from the source rather than just pulling a narrow - wrong - interpretation.

Statistics are tricky. One source of error is to misquote a statistic, or to give it a different context. Thus, I try to avoid doing that.
