2. Oh.My.God.
This is not a place to be if you are ill enough to be in a hospital.

7. I have a very bad feeling about this.
The thing that scares me the most is the potential for sickness (especially the spreading of it in such tight quarters).

8. It's not
The trash is overflowing, the toilets don't work, and indoors it's so humid the walls are slick with moisture. This is NOT the place to bring anyone who isn't 100% healthy. Even then...

10. I'm sure it's out of sheer desperation
According to the mayor, 80% of NO is now flooded and the water continues to rise, due to two levee breaches. It sounds horrifying there. A lot of people are trapped.
