Default Re: People not allowed to leave New Orleans!!!

[ QUOTE ]
they didn't say or know...they were just pleading for the govt to let these people go

as long as they check them for weapons, stolen goods, etc then there is NO reason to keep people confined to a flooded city that has limited/no water/food

[/ QUOTE ]

Some of these people have been wandering around in water that has human and animal feces in it and also decaying bodies. The possibility of contracting a disease from this situation is extremely high. These people must be kept in a contained area (either the convention center or the Astrodome in Houston) until they can be cleared by medical personnel and they are being checked when they arrive at the Astrodome. Yes it is a shame that they have not been given adequate food and water but if they are allowed to leave without being checked for contagious diseases the results could be much worse.
