First reported a half dozen or so, then 64 confirmed dead, then 1,427 confirmed dead by the Puerto Rican government....
now it's 3,000..."confirmed" dead, without evidence, using computer models, by some researchers at George Washington University of whom none had gone to Puerto Rico to take a body count.
C'mon people.
They used a public health study that compared mortality in the six months following the storm with the number of deaths that would have been expected if the storm had not hit.
You should maybe read things before posting bullshit.

Some background on how they got the number they got. Doesn't seem like the Democrats just made the number up to make the POTUS look bad.
From the article:
Quote:A team of researchers spent six months poring over death certificates, speaking to funeral home directors and interviewing doctors to arrive at a death toll of nearly 3,000 people as result of Hurricane Maria's devastation to Puerto Rico, according to the lead author of the study.
