I can't disagree that there has been and will continue to be a long lasting effect. But what surprised the heck out of me was when the WHO released actual human death toll late last year. I remember when it happened there were reports of thousands of casualties. But according to the WHO, only about 50 have died so far, 20 years after it happened.
