wow - in two sentences, I see the rescuers (and presumably FEMA who should have organized them better) blamed for these people's deaths - and I see anyone who suggested they were stubborn holdouts blamed for being insensitive.

Stubborn holdouts?

The article is about people who were in hospital beds, some recuperating from major surgery, some dying.

It goes on to say that "Heroic efforts by doctors and nurses across the city prevented the toll from being vastly higher." But it does show that nursing homes are at the bottom of the list of priorities in our society. I think that's more of a reality than the griping about racism, as a lot of intelligent posts here have shown.
