The health of the residents of the Superdome
These people have been living in subhuman, dirty, crowded, unsanitary conditions.
In the short term, you will see people with cholera and dysentery and other diarrheal diseases.
But my guess the biggest blast will be when some of these people start testing positive for TB.
It would have only taken ONE person to spread it under those conditions and the chances of 1 person in 30,000 having it are pretty damn high when you understand that the poor are the most likely population to have untreated disease in the first place.
I have a feeling we ain't seen nothing yet.
