Population Statistical Speculation Scenario 4a

Intro

All Assumptions and Speculation in Population Statistical Speculation used, but with a moderate deparature: GTV (the newscaster in the "Breakaway" newscast) is unaware of the 11 recent deaths. Koenig mentions 9 deaths to Simmonds, then 2 more die a little later on -- all before the Breakaway event. Simmonds or ILC did not relay this to GTV before their GTV's broadcast. Assume, however, that GTV are aware Simmonds went to Alpha. Thus, while GTV believe 311 were on Alpha at the moment Breakaway began, the real population is 11 less, or 300, in this Scenario.
