Description
Hurricane Maria was one of the worst natural disasters to hit the United States, but the true human damage on the island may never be known. A new study says over 4,600 people died—more than the government’s official estimate of 64. Most of the human toll came as a result of poor health care in the storm’s aftermath. On today’s episode, you’ll also learn the English phrase “go without.” Read the full transcript of this episode at http://www.plainenglish.com/54 Transcripts are always free and available now! ¿Hablas español?
