Fatality count. What does the Christian say?

Hearing death totals numbs my soul. Which is why so much reporting focuses on the “individuals” story. I dug up these statistics for my own curiosity. Every life is sacred. So all political angle that would say “its not as bad as ______” is perverted. Every loss of life is infinitely tragic. (Work that one out theologians.) But I wanted to see a comparison on some of these. Here is what I found – sources are credited.

Some of these numbers surprised me. What do you think? What numbers shocked you?
