What, specifically, about the methodology of the official report do you disagree with? What experience do you have running and critiquing such analytical models?
It is statistical correlation with no cause and effect.
And it is meaningless as a measure of what kind of job was done. What would a similar analysis have come up with for Sandy? 100,000 dead?
We have no idea.
The objection is due to the fact that the basis for their calculations ignores causation. They looked at the increase in deaths alone during this time frame without any consideration of of how or why they died.
Satire? I suppose when faced with the facts of standard hurricane death reporting methods used in the history of hurricanes, satire is as good as any other rebuttal method.
Libs want to rewrite everything we know about hurricanes… for political reasons…to fuel the Trump hate machine.
But before there was such hate, there was also science and reason. We learned that the storm surge was the deadliest part of the hurricane. The deaths in the aftermath are unfortunate but caused by the inability of civil infrastructure to support the lives it is responsible for.
Storm surge was the main cause of death during Hurricane Katrina. In fact, it can be the most dangerous part of any hurricane, and it is only partly determined by wind speed (the aspect of a storm on which the hurricane categories are based). It occurs when strong winds from an approaching hurricane push water into the shore.
Maria was no different.
No libs… you can fool your own people but the rest of know how and why those thousands died. It was not the hurricane.
Blaming anyone for things we cant control is beyond stupid! Whether Obama or anyone else! The only problem is the guy you posted is not an elected official, we literally have elected officials blaming someone for something no one can control. I guess we can blame the next Tornado to destroy Moore Oklahoma on you? None of this makes sense.
Let’s see. Sure, there was Sandy (Sean Hannity: “I want to show you this report by our own David Lee Miller of a public housing unit in New Jersey, and – I’m sorry, in Brooklyn – devastated. This is Obama’s Katrina”), but there were also:
The Fort Hood Shooting
Ebola
The Swine Flu
The BP Oil Spill
Not attending the Paris March against terrorism
and other things that were labeled “Obama’s Katrina.”
No one disputes that BENGHAZI! was Obama’s BENGHAZI!
