You've missed the whole exchange, lots of folks on here are saying Shep was grandstanding trying to make a story. Then some were saying it was obvious where they should go and Shep was making a story out of it. The Point is SHep asked those in charge and didn't get an I don't know or a I'll try to find out. He got NOTHING.
At the time he was asking there were several people near him that where in medical distress One child was in the first stages of Dehydration and suffering from apparent fevor sickness. There was obvious need there, all these officials had to do was say I don't know but I will get the info to someone who does and try and get you help.
Instead he got stonewalled and incoherant blather.
What purpose did that serve by those in charge? I think these idjits where promoted above their abilities.
New 'AWLINS' was a cesspool before this happened and this surprises me not at all.
IT WILL GET WORSE.
God bless the innocents there who have to endure this.
