Okay, how about a time out? Let’s see a list of the 3,000 dead, by date and cause of death. Give us that and then let’s talk.

Exactly.

>>>Please send me the link to the 3,000 death certificates<<<

We need copies of the Autopsies too. I want to see if any of them died from TDS.

The second time Trump killed them, was just as fake as when he killed them the first time.

I guess Trump’s score on dead Maria victims is now around 6,000.

After 8 years in office, Trump will leave with a score only rivaled by Hitler and Mao and Ghengis-Khan.

There are many people who have not read the study, including the liberal commenters and including people here. The study is here: https://publichealth.gwu.edu/sites/default/files/downloads/projects/PRstudy/Acertainment%20of%20the%20Estimated%20Excess%20Mortality%20from%20Hurricane%20Maria%20in%20Puerto%20Rico.pdf I suggest everyone read it so they can understand what is wrong with it. I realize that the news is almost all fake these days and there's not much point in trying to analyze what is wrong with it. But in this case it is probably useful.

Here's the key statement in the report: We estimate that in mid-September 2017 there were 3,327,917 inhabitants and in mid-February 2018 there were 3,048,173 inhabitants of Puerto Rico, representing a population reduction by approximately 8%. We factored this into the migration “displacement scenario” and compared it with a “census scenario,” which assumed no displacement from migration in the hurricane’s aftermath.

In other words, they guessed at the number of people who left. Then they calculated the mortality rate from the same six month period in past years. Then they multipled that mortality rate by their estimate of the remaining population. Then they took the full number of deaths from the 6 month period after Maria and subtracted the estimate of the number that should have died.

There are two glaring problems with this methodology. First they are guessing at the number of people who left. Their guess uses a "survey" of airline passengers. Obviously not complete and there's no way to know if it is representative. Second, the young and healthy people left and left the old and sick behind to die. That's essentially the same problem as France in the 2003 heat wave. 15,000 old people didn't die of the heat in France, they died because they were neglected.

But Hitler, Mao and Genghis Khan only killed finite numbers of people. /sarc

I would make this comparison on Puerto Rico....if you brought up corruption and said New Orleans was a solid ‘10’ on a scale of one to ten for corruption....then PR would be ranking a ‘15’ on the same scale.

Rubin is two slices of rye bread, corned beef, coleslaw, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing SHORT OF BEING USEFUL FOR ANYTHING.

What a sick creep.

Your post is right on the money. Corruption in PR is pandemic and has been. The answer is to put a military governor in place with the 82 nd Airborne to get that mess under control.
