"19 in 17 months"

Yes, that's the current score, but what's the total for the last 12 and 6? Last year was a really really bad year (13?), but it doesn't seem to be holding up. I wondered at the time if it was just a statistical outlier.

Not to say it isn't of concern, nor should be addressed, but I'd challenge the notion that the rate has increase 50% in the last 2 years. Perhaps last summer's carnage knocked some more sense into people.
