And many of the PR deaths might have been because of no insulin, or no refrigeration for it. No oxygen tank. Any number of medical assistance devices require power.

No AC. How many old people die in Chicago or NY when a heatwave comes through and 80 year old+ people can't take the heat? Even a shortage of water in some of the more isolated places, combined with the heat. Stress causing a heart attack.

There's a paper trail on this going back to 2012.
And the only reason it's coming up now is because Feinstein sat on it for months.

 

I'm not sure what the makeup is now, but as of a few years ago the Arizona legislature's Higher Ed Committee didn't include a single college graduate.

 

Quite a few key Executive Branch spots occupied by people with zero public service experience prior to 2017.
