18. I agree. I think the evetual total will be far above 100,000

Not only has the WHO said that disease could double the mortality:

...but the in the confusion and disrupted communications in the hardest hit areas, there will be no way to determine the number of deaths for some time. The numbers keep going up, but they are KNOWN deaths. The so-far unknown ones and the deaths to come from injuries or disease will be more than the currently known toll, I fear.
