I know this 3,000 number came from vague models, not actual data. I admit I know very little about the calculations.

But I was wondering about the Puerto Ricans who left there to come to America permanently during and after the hurricane. Is that number being considered in the models and maybe they’re in the total presumed dead? Like I said, I’m clueless, but still...

If those people aren’t dying in P.R. now but live in the USA instead, that might bugger the numbers.

No. Read the report, I linked it earlier. The fraud comes mainly from overestimating how many people left.
