The interesting thing is that this humungous loss of life doesn't appear to be much of an impact item economically beyond tourism.
Three thousand people die in a moment in New York and the global economy collapses even more than it had been to that point, the damages measured perhaps by starting at 1 trillion dollars.
Two hundred thousand die in this region and, if I'm not mistaken, even their local stock markets are up.
