How many of the post-hurricane deaths resulted from Puerto Rican officials hoarding medical, nutritional, safety, sanitation, etc. supplies and never distributing them to the people in need?

"We stand by the science underlying our study which found there were an estimated 2,975 excess deaths in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria," reads the statement from GW's Milken Institute School of Public Health, obtained by NBC. "We are confident that the number - 2,975 - is the most accurate and unbiased estimate of excess mortality to date." Maybe they can estimate their names.

18 DIED IN THE HURRICANE. 2982 DIED OF THIRST.

And so the appropriate place to “blame” if this is the underlying point of this, is Puerto Rico, nothing or nowhere else.
If PR folks cant plan and give a crap about themselves more than anyone else will, ....?

The researchers assessed typical mortality rates from 2010 to 2017, then compared that figure to the number of deaths in the six months after Maria. Why do you need to run a "typical morality rate"? Dead bodies should be pretty easy to count. They don't run away & hide. You don't need a Washington University degree - just get any 6 year-old kid, they can count.
To: yesthatjallen
Where are the bodies? Wouldn't somebody have noticed that many funerals?

A lot of “excess deaths” were likely elderly people who died in the heat when the power for fans and air conditioning went out for months.
To: yesthatjallen
Has any other hurricane had its death count calculated in the same way that GW calculated the death count from Hurricane Maria?

Its called planning. These people,always expect others to plan for their disasters. They cant even execute plans others have mad and given supplies for. Supplies sat in warehouses and were stolen ,damaged, left to rot.
Infants. No ability to take care of themselves in major problems.
18 dead from the huricane, a miracle in itself. 2900 dead from heat and lack of electrical and water issues they were not able to deal with individually or as a group.

risk of death was 45 percent higher for "populations living in low socioeconomic development municipalities" and men 65 years or older. If only those Hispanics would be viewed as white, then the loss of these men would present no concern whatsoever.
