Those weird Euros. MM for Million, M for Thousand? What happened to their metric system with just M and K!? Also, mixing up decimal places with comas and putting them in the wrong places! We fought a war to escape that stuff! Posting it should be a bannable offense! /s

On point, 480K deaths is ridiculous hyperbole.
