Yup. Texas has become the national triage center - some of these people need to go elsewhere so we can take more people in and determine what they need. There are concerns that if we don't do this, we'll drop below what we consider minimum care levels for these people. Unlike Louisiana, we do *not* treat people like cattle unless we simply don't have any other choices. If we can get some other states to take people who are stabilized and not in urgent need of care, that will help.

We're *well* over the 100,000 we were initially told to expect. May the Louisianans responsible for this debacle roast in Hell for all eternity.
