NO Mayor orders forced removal if necessary

Sure it's dangerous. But this guy seems to be faring well and doing a necessary service in the area.

Someone has to be there to rebuild.[/u]

But even where there is dry ground and security, there are the mechanisms for serious disease to become established (mosquitos, effluent, dead humans and pets in the area, lack of refuse services, vermin multiplying and being displaced from flooded areas).

The less unnecessary people present in the area the more manageable the wider public health situation becomes, and the less likely that a disease will become established without being quickly noticed, isolated and treated with minimal resources required.

I think there’s going to be two major showdowns in the very near future, one between the Governor and people of Louisiana (backed by media) and a second between the military forces and civilians remaining in NO, in the form of genuine Marshall Law.

(I’m quite staggered that Marshall Law still has not been declared in this situation, it's unbelievable! If this does not qualify for immediate implementation of Marshall Law, for the greater good of all involved … WTF situation does, or would? ... I just don't get it ...)
