From my own perspective, its just too huge for me to digest. The news can shout numbers of deaths at me all they want, but my brain simply can't process it. I feel sympathy for the people affected, but as some other's have said, my life goes on. A new semester starts, and my mind is occupied. I'm far from a cold person, but I cannot fathom that over 4 times the population of my home town has been wiped out....
