We lost last year. I think it was more than that. But, you know, people don't like saying it because they always said 100,000, 115,000, numbers we've been hearing for years. So We lost last year more than 200,000 people dead. People ruined, families beyond the 200,000 and those 200,000, that family will never be the same. But these people have killed over 200,000 people, actually killed over 200,000 people last year. (06:33–06:37)
