I believe those EMS workers any day of the week over our government who constantly lies on a daily basis for "the common good".

Do you say that about all governments, or just the Republican ones?

These were flesh and blood crews that were down there doing this work the day the hurricane hit and arrived the night before.

The night before? You are saying that the rescue crews started working before the hurricane hit? Is that when they started seeing bodies?

They can only issue official numbers for bodies that have death certificates from being identified

" the state of Mississippi has confirmed 220 deaths and publicly identified about half the victims"

"As the detritus from the storm is cleared, the death toll could grow. The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that the hurricane left 18 million to 20 million cubic yards of debris in Mississippi alone, the equivalent of 200 football fields piled 50 feet high, and that it will take eight months just to clear the roadways in the state. Coroners are hiring so-called spotters to check the landfills for signs of remains."

I suggested hauling it all to NO and then put a load
of dirt on top of it and bingo no more "City Beneath Sea"
