Report: Nearly 3,000 deaths in Puerto Rico linked to Maria

An independent investigation ordered by Puerto Rico’s government estimates that 2,975 people died within six months as a result of Hurricane Maria.

The findings issued Tuesday by the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University contrast sharply with the official death toll of 64. It’s also about double the government’s previous interim estimate of 1,400. Researchers say there was a 22 percent overall increase in the number of deaths from September 2017 to February 2018 compared to previous years. They say the initial low counts came partly because physicians lacked training on how to certify deaths after a disaster. They say the elderly and impoverished were most at risk.

A spokesman for Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello did not immediately return a message for comment. . . .

What I want to know is when did Donny's administration even acknowledge 1,400 death???

4. Thanks for the link

[geomon666]

5. They didn't.

The Puerto Rican government came up with that estimate. Donny's World is still at 64.

9. Imagine...he could have cut that number by 1000

Or even in half if he'd gotten help to them.

But you know, Puerto Rico is an island...as Trumpty pointed out. It's surrounded by water.

18. Hillary had to remind him to send the Comfort, east coast hospital ship.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. I don't think it was all Maria.

Our FEMA isn't functional any more. And neither is our Dimfuck excuse for a president.

If they had done their jobs a whole lot more people would have survived the storm's aftermath.

[2naSalit]

14. And it was intentional that they did their best to do nothing at all

because... brown people.

[iluvtennis]

[Pope George Ringo II]

27. Heck of a job, Trumpie.

[yuiyoshida]

22. 3,000 A M E R I C A N S.... THATS blood on your hands, Trump!

Not a word from the Con or Smokey Eyes

[JI7]

24. this gives his supporters reason to continue supporting him

[malaise]

25. How

These are Americans

[duforsure]

26. While trump bragged with lie after lie

They were doing such a wonderful job, but as most thought they were nothing but more lies from trump all along about saving lives there. This isn't American especially when a President does this to American people he sworn to protect. He intentionally hurt these people because of their skin color, just like he's done to the children and their immigrants parents. He is a monster.
