It was exactly one month ago that http://www.cowboysprostore.com/jonathan-cooper-jersey-c-1_43.html Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico, leaving nearly total devastation in her wake. While the official death toll was raised to 49 on Friday morning, after a resident succumbed to a bacterial disease that is caught through an animals urine, research indicates that the real number of fatalities is probably closer to 450.
Public Radio International recently interviewed Vox editor Eliza Barclay about the facts and fiction of whats happening on the ground. When asked about the method officials are using to tally the number of fatalities, Barclay said that we dont have a super clear sense of exactly how theyve been doing it. But one thing theyve been doing is requiring that every single body be inspected by officials from the Institute for Forensic Science. And then theyre also saying that they need to do interviews with family members to confirm that a death definitely resulted from the hurricane. So it seems, at least, like a pretty strict set of requirements in order to attribute a death directly to the storm.
Still, with officials originally claiming that just 16 people had died as a result of Hurricane Maria and Trump using that number as proof of hissuccess in dealing with the catastrophe the numbers just didnt seem right to Barclay and her colleagues. So they decided to dig deeper.
Barclay was clear that these are squishynumbers, not hard evidence that Vox was able to calculate the exact total of deaths. But they indicate that theres probably a lot of deaths out there that theyre not accounting for in San Juan.
16. 48. 49. 500. Its all practically the same, right?
El Vocero, a local newspaper, reported that there are 350 bodies awaiting autopsies, though its unclear how many if any were at the Institute of Forensic Sciences before the hurricane struck. Even so, thats a big discrepancy.
While Trump is proud of the way hes done so little to help the millions of American citizens who call the island home, giving himself a perfect 10 out of 10? score on his response to the situation, one only needs to look at a real-time photo of the U.S. territory to understand that the president is painting a sunny picture of a http://www.0750xsaf.com/justin-gilbert-jersey-c-1_21.html place where one million people are without running water and three million will likely be without power until Christmas.
Still, President Racist is sticking to his story that he has bent over backwards to help the people of PR. Like that time he donned a rain slicker and a shiny new pair of work boots to hop on his private plane and attempt to decapitate a few dozen Puerto Ricans with beautiful, softrolls of extra-ply Bounty.
What more do these people want from him?
