@sasa_ghada And even a survey could produce an extremely wide range. I'm reminded of this survey of deaths after hurricane María in Puerto Rico that gave a range of anything between 793 and 8,498. It proved that the official figure of 64 was wrong, but not
For an example of why I say mortality surveys are often contested, see the case of Hurricane Maria. A survey estimated 4,600 excess deaths. https://t.co/6JtXgVFdxL The true value was between 400 and 2500: https://t.co/5JYl4mLln4 https://t.co/Bbi4B0z43Q ht

@ChinmayTumbe The question of quantifying excess deaths is not addressed by CRS, that does not mean there were no excess deaths. We need robust household surveys to answer that question. See this article https://t.co/T92lI1duwg
"Our estimate of 4645 excess deaths from September 20 through December 31, 2017, is likely to be conservative since subsequent adjustments for survivor bias and household-size distributions increase this estimate to more than 5000." https://t.co/SBQu

@KoveanFelix @SharianaApesar El estudio de las 4,645 muertes fue un equipo de Harvard, no el New York Times. Y de hecho el estudio no oculta que ese "4,645" en realidad, por error de muestreo, es entre 793 y 8,498. https://t.co/uXJmX2QTbH

Luckily, nothing happened to my family during the hurricane, but the weeks after the event were hell. To this day we don’t know how many people died, but a Harvard study estimates 4,645 deaths can be linked to the Hurricane and it’s aftermath. https://t.c
Hace tres años, Puerto Rico fue golpeado por el huracán María, dejando más de 4,645 muertes a su paso. Hoy y siempre les recordamos. Sin olvidar la incapacidad del gobierno para proteger a su población más vulnerable. https://t.co/yj2DIYsPVU

@pagebike @rafalab @NickKristof No, the excess deaths were equivalent to a 62% increase in the mortality rate. https://t.co/dC1Jmx9Thx The lack of relief contributed to these deaths. Insulin shortages, no electricity to run dialysis or hospital equipment.

This debate became also relevant in PR after hurricane Maria-- the official count was 64; yet, others studies took a broader approach to estimating deaths. For instance, this study concluded that there were 4,700 excess deaths. https://t.co/eptcv7gBa0
@jeremyphoward ICYMI official death counts can be way off the mark, 64 vs ~3k https://t.co/DlYQr5CbBQ
