       @GottaLaff I don't doubt the number, but I wonder how they calculate the deaths, do they count every body? That's a lot to count. Or is it an estimate based on the population and what buildings went down? Just curious.

       @seth @GottaLaff There seem to be various methods according to wiki, though not specific to this particular quakehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_casualty_estimation

       @seth @GottaLaff they are currently counting bodies in this particular disaster. These are bodies that have been recovered so far and it will increase significantly. Remember the area covered is approx the size of the Netherlands. They’ll never fully recover everyone and those missing will be eventually be counted as dead.
