According to a Professor who helped take care of the
recent Tsunami victims the infected living could pose a more disease
spreading danger potential then the New Orleans area Gulf dead. The next
question is if they are aware of that why is it that they haven't
medically quarantined those poor folks until they can be checked out or
treated to make sure they don't contaminate the Nation rest. It would
seem prudent if they are aware of the danger to protective quarantine
and medically observe or treat then to just give them bus and plane
tickets to far inland destinations to only complicate the danger. No one
wants to see folks have to stay in protective shelters for any
unnecessary length of time, but per experienced Professor Garfield the
danger is there. Even Astronauts have to be quarantined when returning
from space just as a precaution.

And what about the thousands that don't want to leave, now living in
flooded toxic polluted waters with mosquito season upon them? A whole
host of diseases could spring up the likes of which never imagined in
modern times. What with floating bodies, dead or dying pets, toxic
industrial chemicals, complete flooded sewer systems, dangerous medical
waste including HIV, freely traveling snakes, possible rabid animals
including gators, a prescription for possible wide disease spreading
catastrophe. If nature hell happens it should be our job to hopefully
contain it, and protect all from its possible further deadly
consequences. In our rush to help Katrina victims we must never forget
to protect the folks they are all rushing too as well. Oh the humanity,
perhaps the death toll from contamination and spreading disease may be
greater in the coming months then initial disaster itself.
