But there was also another urgent concern: The storm threatened to strain hospitals, already under pressure from patients sick with the coronavirus. Louisiana is in the throes of one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the nation, with nearly as many people hospitalized with Covid-19 statewide as in any earlier period of the pandemic.

In television appearances on Sunday, [Gov.] Edwards said that the pandemic had thwarted plans to evacuate hospitals.

“Evacuating these large hospitals is not an option because there are not any other hospitals with the capacity to take them,” he said on “Face the Nation.” “We were able to evacuate over 20 nursing homes and rehab facilities and behavioral facilities and those sorts of things. But when you think in terms of hospitals, it is just not possible.”

On the streets of New Orleans, the wind whipped in fearsome gusts as strong as 70 miles an hour. There were few cars in motion, except for the occasional howling emergency vehicle. Downtown, a few homeless people tucked themselves into the porticos of buildings

In North Korea the government forces the poorest citizens to stay outdoors in danger during horrific natural disasters.

Failed state.

it is going to be an absolute catastrophe. You can’t evacuate with nowhere to evacuate to.
