            At this moment the reports are confusing.

            Reports from the same region, same village.

            The names mentioned in the latest report on the students seem to match the names mentioned in earlier reports.

            Also the number of 5 and 2 are the same. As is the number of 5 transferred to Jakarta Hospital.

            At this point I feel we are looking at 7 patients in total.

              I agree with Dutchy. I've got 7. But Dutchies latest articles makes it sound like 6 students and the "management" of the school.
              Interesting.
              We'll see what other articles come in.
              I have a Nujulul (10)
              and Najatul (8)
              and the latest article mentions a Nuzul (9).

                Thanks. Also, in an institutional setting such as a boarding school it is possible that several "ducks" were eaten.
