Here’s some tweets that I just pulled up. So some survivors ARE still under the rubble. But obviously every hour that goes by the odds go down. Unless they happen to be stuck in a grocery store.
But with only a limited amount of airport use, distribution routes - #%&*@ the U.N. that is in charge of that - etc., you also need all the other supplies in to keep those that ARE out and relatively healthy alive.
I loved the reports from the hospitals where they fix someone up. BUT - when they send them out, where do they go? Do they have food and water, go to someplace where they can recuperate? I doubt it. They probably get patched up and then tossed back out to someone try to survive. Good odds for dieing I would think without some extended care (in this case, maybe a glass of water and a slice of bread a day).
Here’s some of the tweets:

God protect them!
6 days trapped? I guess there are still some people left, I don’t remember what is the longest time anyone has made it, but at this point is going to be mainly a recovery mission. The Marines have landed and their support units are on the way. The current thinking is that we are going to build some new piers next week. Until then everything will be over the beach. The ready reserve ships with the bridging and pier equipment didn’t get activated until Saturday(Obama’s Fault) and it will take them around 5 days to set sail, plus they have to pick up some material.
