        There is some if you're interested. And it's incredibly easy to find if you have electricity and an internet connection.

        i don't really take words from the mainstream media for they're becoming an opinion news rather than factual news.

        It's a peer-reviewed study. It's not opinion.

        If you keep shifting the goalposts of proof, you'll never have to believe anything. The peer reviewed study is sent out to peer in a field. Not your best friends in that field. And, that "field" by the way, isn't media. It was an independent science research project.

        are we talking about science or news? at some point, it is ok to say "i don't know" rather than believe the convincing argument, that's how religion was born

        Did you not read my last post? It was an independent scientific research project. And, no, that's not how religion was born. That was born out of the need to explain, at the time, that which couldn't be explained. This has empirical evidence that has been collected and verified.

        Impossible to put an exact count on it. I read they compared actuarial tables, and this is how they came up with the number. One thing id certain: The hurricane did not do anybody's health any good. The infrastructure is so torn up-no phones, internet, roads and bridges out.

        The dang storm is coming today with lots of rain, not too much wind. I hope it does not stall and dump 30 inches as this would be a disaster. I hope it just keeps moving out of here ASAP.

        They counted every natural death then blamed Trump because their power infrastructure has been dilapidated for decades...
