Central reporting of mortality statistics relies on data that is inconsistently collected, of variable quality, and lags by weeks... in Japan. Imagine, then, how hard it is to count yesterday's bodies in third world countries.

In Ecuador the bodies are literally pilling up in the streets, for example.
