Florence

[Tom]

If you’re in Florence’s path and considering riding it out, your President just said that a hurricane response where 3,000 die is his measure of success.

Link to the exact comments please,

The forgotten scandal in the Trump administration: Hurricane Maria
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...ia-puerto-rico

Of all the scandals plaguing the Trump administration, there is none more serious or more forgotten than the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

Several thousand Americans died. Not because of the storm itself, but because of the botched recovery. Yet until very recently, government officials dodged all accountability by clinging to the lie that just a few dozen lives were lost.

Blah, blah, blah. I need some hard numbers that show specifically the number of fatalities due specifically to post-hurricane recovery failures.

Who went to Louisiana after the 2016 floods, Trump or Hillary.

Who cares?
If you're prepared, you don't need a visit from a politician.
A thread was started about folks being prepared for what looks like a serious storm and all some folks wanna do is talk politics....AGAIN

I dfon't have time to sort that out. But why does that matter?
Meanwhile there is no excusing this fiasco...

Hurricane Maria killed more than 4,600 people — more than 70 times the official toll of 64, study says.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ico/650942002/

Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, however, surveyed more than 3,000 households on the battered island. By extrapolating those findings, researchers determined that at least 4,645 "excess deaths" occurred during the storm and the weeks that followed.

The researchers said the number was conservative and that the death toll likely exceeded 5,000. Many of the deaths were due in part to power outages that crippled medical and other services.

The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

"Our results indicate that the official death count of 64 is a substantial underestimate of the true burden of mortality after Hurricane Maria," the study says.

I only quoted you on the original post because you are in Louisiana and Trump went there. Sorry.

Boxcar implied the "evil leftists" sunk Puerto Rico. When the death toll was all along underestimated by a bragging despicable Trump
