Just out of curiosity, how many people die in and around NO in a week's time? How many are murdered?
How many people died simply because of the lack of modern technology. I think of my elderly neighbor who is on dialysis. She is 86 and does pretty well. She still gets out and comes to our parties, but only because she has the miracle of modern medicine at her disposal. Take away her electricity, water and meds and she would probably die within days. All the environmental wackos that talk about this imaginary eden they dream about got a good look at what happens when you remove the technology that we all take for granted. They forget that because of modern technology many people live today who would have died just 50 years ago.
My guess is we will find out that most of the dead fit this profile; elderly, ill, on medication or regular medical care of some kind that just wasn't available under the circumstances or very young babies that didn't have the strength yet to survive under these conditions. It would be interesting to know just how many young/middle age healthy people died over the last 5 days.
