On this week's Latinx News Roundtable, we look at a new Harvard study that has found that the official government death count from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was off by thousands. We look at the study's numbers and methodology and the local politics and context. Also, a study by the Centers for Disease Control has found that there's been an alarming rise in overdoses among Latinos. Plus, Latino entrepreneurs designed a new app called Interpreters Tap, which allows interpreter services in real time.
