That's 70X as many fatalities as the Dotard and his sycophantic minions would admit to.

You are TRULY a tool. The number of 64 is the number provided by the Puerto Rican gov't. Trump "and his sycophantic minions" had nothing to do with that number. Until the Puerto Rican gov't changes its count, it will remain at 64.
This isn't even a new story either. From your
favorite paper earlier this year:
In a statement Monday, Rosselló said that he welcomes the news analyses but that the government "cannot base any official fatality related to the hurricane count on statistical analysis."
"Every life is more than a number, and every death must have a name and vital information attached to it, as well as an accurate accounting of the facts related to their passing," he said in the statement.
Rosselló provided a flowchart detailing the processes by which his government has been documenting the deaths using guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But in recent weeks, Puerto Rican government officials acknowledged failures in the documentation complicated by the telecommunications difficulties. As news reports questioning the official death toll emerged, members of Congress began calling for investigations into the death count.
I swear, if a meteor crashed into Mercury, you'd find a way to blame it on Trump "and his sycophantic minions".
