Reply to comment by [deleted] in Survivors still being found on the 6th day as death toll from Syria & Turkey earthquake tops 25,000 by Portgas_D_Chou

I’ve never thought to be bothered by this. It seems pertinent for a number of reasons. You would prefer not knowing any numbers until the final tally? That’s interesting. Does it apply to other things too?
I have a different brain about certain things and have never heard this particular complaint so I’m curious. I hope it’s ok to ask questions!

150,000+?! Doing the math -- if most of those people are dead, the final death toll from this disaster will end up anywhere between 175,000 and 200,000. And that's not counting the secondary deaths that might take place if contagious diseases like cholera take hold.
