Over 5M living with Alzheimer's?

Maybe I am optimistic but with 5 MILLION people having Alzheimer's it's time to move this to a higher priority.
In the near future we must speak of this in the past tense.

Those 5 million are just in the United States. That doesn't include others around the world.

I agree. My grandfather died last summer after suffering for 5 years from all the side effects.
