Reply #76: i can't say that i would have

wanted to wait in Italy hoping that the CDC would get me home, but it was different than Katrina in that this man made a very conscious choice to take an expensive, overseas trip to Europe despite being warned AGAINST it by his Dr, and the CDC- He was told that they didn't think he should travel, and that he needed to start treatment- but instead he kept seeking a 'loop-hole' that would somehow absolve him from guilt or responsibility for doing what he wanted to do regardless of the concequences.

Katrina is a whole different disaster- I don't trust the government to help me in any way- but with the situation in NOLA and surrounding area, the govt was not only a failure in terms of being a help- it stopped help that was being offered by others, bears responsibility for those who were put into such danger to begin with, and had a large part in creating such a dangerous situation to begin with -
