In Turkey and Syria now they’re saying 1,800 people died already. Is it as simple as counting the bodies and reporting that?
In: 6513
I think in a lot of cases it’s about estimating how many people were in the area/building and subtracting the survivors to get an estimate.
Like if a building had 20 apartments, with 50 occupants; and if there were only 10 survivors accounted for you might say there were about 40 casualties.
And it would get refined over time as people checked in, or didn’t..
