Good morning today it's Wednesday March 6th. My name is Eduardo Isenti and these are Puerto Rico's top names for today.

We start off with a new Harvard study which says that Maria that the actual deaths were between 793 and 8498.

This study was widely criticized for having such a large range, but the truth of matter is

they had to do a survey which has a large margin of error because the government would not

publish demographic data.

The government actually only came to publish the data that Harvard needed for the study

about eight or nine months later after Maria midway through 2018.

So now Harvard has done a new study which says that they were actually 3000 deaths which is pretty much in

the night with what George Washington University's found using the same data.

Moving on, over one million people who received full stamps in the island have

officially seen a reduction in the amount of money that they receive. We've

been talking about this for the past couple of weeks. The funds

that were assigned after Maria are officially over. So the people who are receiving food

benefits have seen the benefits go down. Like I said, interestingly, about 200,000 people

who we thought were going to lose their benefits because they only got them after the signing men of funds after

because of Maria have not lost their benefits yet because the government was able to find

some extra money in a contingency account for food stamps

that they are using now in order to maintain these 200,000 people's benefits. We are still waiting to see if the Senate bill, the

agricultural Senate bill gets approved. That bill would add $600

million to our food stamps, which would last about a year in order

to return people to what they saw after Maria.

But that's only a one year fix.
