In plain words

  • ≠ Migrantes: outlets give from 131 to 177. Latest published: 145 (The Objective, 19/10 07:27).
  • = Muertos: 309, the same figure in 2 outlets.
  • = Muertos: 3, the same figure in 2 outlets.

Same method for every outlet. A different figure may be an updated toll; a verdict needs an official figure.
