    Watch our report with Professor Martinez's calculations on Puerto Rico hurricane deaths. @FullMeasureNews http://fullmeasure.news/news/politics/hurricane-maria …https://twitter.com/AlMartinezUT/status/1042241896746295297 …

    I didn't guess 1,900. Instead, I received official records from Puerto Rico's Demographic Registry, which are based entirely on Death Certificates (no estimates), and compared previous years with how many people died after Maria: https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/407186-is-the-gwu-estimate-of-hurricane-deaths-in-puerto-rico-accurate …

        I'm sorry, but counting a death in March as "caused" by the hurricane is stretching the idea of "cause" until it snaps. Hurricanes cause death by wind and rain, not by some mysterious 6-month delayed mechanism. When have we ever waited six months to announce the death toll? w.

        Conflating deaths which are caused by inadequate response measures with those incurred by storm activity produce a skewed picture of the hurricane's effect.

        What you see is a failure of Puerto Rico as a governing entity and very little to do with federal help.Another example of how socialistic government fails humanity without exception

        I am curious if he considered cause of death into his calculations, as well as the issues that occurred with the distribution of aid in Puerto Rico. I bet that the number of deaths actually caused by the hurricane are much lower and the numbers provided are from said issues.

        Whatever method is used, hurricanes from the previous 10-20 years should be reassessed with same method to provide comparative data. Shouldn't invent new metrics and then criticise recent results without historical perspective.

        NOAA cited 65 direct death; GWU & Harvard #MariaDeaths #PuertoRico on population Fail include mass exodus & Puerto Rico Department of Public Safety created disinform limited death count instead of allowing Puerto Rico's Demographic Registry report excess death, required by law.

        Thanks Sharyl! And here's my explanation of why the GWU report overestimates the mortality rates after the hurricane by roughly 50% -- basically, because they underestimate how many people "would have died" if the hurricane had not struck:https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/407186-is-the-gwu-estimate-of-hurricane-deaths-in-puerto-rico-accurate …

        Then maybe they should have distributed that water.
