They couldn't even switch the interstate highways to contraflow so all lanes were for leaving. Failed state.
Meanwhile in China: “Why didn’t you just build a new hospital to put them in? 🤔”
it is going to be an absolute catastrophe. You can't evacuate with nowhere to evacuate to.
Oxygen is going to be an interesting/horrifying thing to keep track of until the city recovers. Oxygen generators are big and either attach to the hospital or supply from centralised factories. Those generators are also used in wastewater treatment for ozone sterilisation so the quality of drinking water will rapidly tank.
Fuck, what are we going to do when people get injured in the storm? No hospital beds for them either...
I hope they got them out of the fucking lower floors, like they were during Katrina.
Is it just me or is placing critical generators in basements a common mistake in places with flood risks? That was one of the big reasons why things went awry in Fukushima as well.
during Katrina, it was alleged that some patients that weren't/couldn't be evacuated were euthanized by the doctors that remained there
It's not an allegation. it's pretty well documented
throw the unvaxxed covid patients into the parking lot. fuck them.
But there was also another urgent concern: The storm threatened to strain hospitals, already under pressure from patients sick with the coronavirus. Louisiana is in the throes of one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the nation, with nearly as many people hospitalized with Covid-19 statewide as in any earlier period of the pandemic.
In television appearances on Sunday, [Gov.] Edwards said that the pandemic had thwarted plans to evacuate hospitals.
“Evacuating these large hospitals is not an option because there are not any other hospitals with the capacity to take them,” he said on “Face the Nation.” “We were able to evacuate over 20 nursing homes and rehab facilities and behavioral facilities and those sorts of things. But when you think in terms of hospitals, it is just not possible.”

On the streets of New Orleans, the wind whipped in fearsome gusts as strong as 70 miles an hour. There were few cars in motion, except for the occasional howling emergency vehicle. Downtown, a few homeless people tucked themselves into the porticos of buildings
In North Korea the government forces the poorest citizens to stay outdoors in danger during horrific natural disasters.
Failed state.
So how many years until Americans realize they've been living in a failed state
they will be living in caves without power eating trash and still saying you just gotta :vote:
