You not being a member here during another hurricane may not be a good enough of an excuse.

CaughtInTheMiddle:

There was a great deal of discussion nationwide about the Katrina numbers and it went on for years.

Have the death toll numbers from the hurricane in Puerto Rico been inflated by the government there?

I’m talking about this forum. It’s not like we can go through the archives of the old forum to find past threads and posts.

Very few died in New Orleans “in” hurricane Katrina. Doesn’t make them any less dead or any less victims of the storm.

Very few? 11 Facts About Hurricane Katrina | DoSomething.org

Most of them died AFTER the storm in the flooding.

I’m sure that makes a BIG difference for them.

Couldn’t tell you. Have they?

I have no reason to believe they have been.

Or haven’t been. I’m not sure if I want to make a double negative or not.

it appears that some people think so…

Smyrna:

I think they’re counting someone who died of a heart attack removing debris, drank contaminated water or run over by caravans delivering supplies? Since the source of this number is so vague, it’s hard to infer what makes it up.

Have the death toll numbers from the hurricane in Puerto Rico been inflated by the government there?

To arrive at the latest approximation, the Harvard researchers conducted a randomized survey of 3,299 households across Puerto Rico, and used the findings to calculate an overall mortality rate for the period of 20 September through 31 December 2017, which was compared to mortality rate during the same period in 2016. The result was an “excess death rate” attributable to the hurricane and its aftermath, which the researchers then extrapolated to the population as a whole:

Do you remember EXACTLY what I said? My comment was attributing the aftermath deaths with those that died during the hurricane. You attempted to turn something logical into your idea of racism. What you did is the perfect example of why our country is polarized, it’s very ugly and you should be ashamed.

Just to be clear… the article reported a surge of people who called a hotline and said they were thinking about suicide.

Is it groundhog day?

Does it matter whether Smyrna was here or not to even have questioned the numbers of another hurricane or are you going to go and interrogate his spouse to find the answer to this most uncompelling question?

Have you defended the numbers of each hurricane as vigorously? Can you prove it?

ohknow35 · 2018-08-11T14:36:47.982Z

Well you can throw out any talk of hurricanes from 1-20-09 through 1-20-17. None happened during that time.

The oceans receded.

You’re the self-appointed death toll monitor. You tell me.
