Title: Man, Asia got its ass kicked.

Myanmar Typhoon
78,000 confirmed dead - 56,000 missing : up to 113,400 dead?

China Earthquake
40,000 confirmed dead - 32,000 missing : up to 72,000 dead?

China also was quoted saying as many as 5 million chinese are homeless after the earthquake. Myanmar estimate is 1 million homeless. Lack of US Donations is blamed on Disaster Fatigue, but I think it has more to do with PRIMARY FATIGUE ifyaknowwhatimean.

That part of the world doesnt hate us that much, so that would be a dumb way to think.

With that kind of math skill, you should be a government accountant.

Are typhoons just naturally worse than hurricanes? Or is it that being poor makes you much more susceptible to being killed by a natural disaster?

I don't imagine huts and tents hold up too well to typhoons :(

I think extreme population concentration makes things harder. China has made efforts to deal with this issues. If an earthquake or typhoon that big hit us we'd probably be hurting too.
