Sooooo sensitive.
In a situation where the death toll is mounting daily and where it's
obvious nobody knows the number of death exactly, it's nonsensical for
any newsgroup to come up with an unofficial figure of 19,565, even if
tentative. If it's a small number (e.g. 19), it's okay because it
could be reasonably accurate; but not 19,565 (it's just too
pretentiously exact for a large, unofficial figure).
