Yes, my understanding is there were sporadic endemic cases noted as well as the outbreak in Dalston and northwest London which both occurred in 1955 a few months before Royal Free.So there was an overall epidemic / increase of incidence in ME/CFS in the UK in the years around 1955?
Sorry I was wrong, 12 patients that were already admitted at the time of the outbreak got ME, versus 292 members of the staff that came down with it. Ramsay notes that the hospital was full at the time so it's pretty remarkable that only 12 patients became ill.And you are saying that during the outbreak at the hospital, only the Royal Free staff, but none of the hospital patients, came down with ME/CFS?
