humedica commentary: why the world public is not interested in the heavy earthquake in Myanmar
The bare figures are sad, however not spectacular. The latest heavy earthquake in Myanmar, former Burma, had a magnitude of 6.8 on the Richter scale; but should we refer to this magnitude as being "low" or "substantial"? Nowadays, it seems difficult to choose the appropriate words. Although the world public is currently focussing on other topics and events, humedica will offer help also in this disaster region. Attempting to comment on a sad development.
