We have excellent FReepers in Louisiana -- what the heck is wrong with the mayors and governors there that makes them so dense as to be unable to plan and prepare?
(ps: Check out the name in the by-line!)

Can’t this incompetent make a decision on his own without Washington telling him what to do? That’s what he was elected for!

They didnt tell you to move the school buses either, right.

But Bel Edwards did confirm Sunday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- and all other federal government agencies -- made no mention of scaling back Mardi Gras celebrations over coronavirus concerns. Uhh...you can make that decision, Bel. Just a thought.

Does he need the Fed Gov to tell him everything?

We had plans to go to New Orleans for the Bourbon Street jazz festival. Jazz festival was cancelled a number of weeks ago.
The CDC did not cancel it. I guess is that the city cancelled it. Why did the city also not cancel Mardi Gras. My guess is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This reflects the incompetence of Ray Main and Kathleen Blanko from Katrina.

To: BenLurkin
In January, everyone in the country knew that that COVID-19 would be become a devastating pandemic.
With that knowledge, the incompetent leaders of Louisiana did nothing to cancel Mardi Gras or issue Stay at Home Orders.
Had they taken such actions in January or very early February, this disaster would have been avoided.
To: SeekAndFind
WHO had yet call this a pandemic. Trump was still in the dark due to Chinas lying and coverup.
To: BenLurkin
Hey, did you know that the City of New Orleans has an "Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness", right in the City Hall building near the mayor's office?
Yeah, that office was conspicuously silent in 2005, too. What a colossal joke.

There are MANY examples of local politicians in the state and city TELLING people to attend EVERYTHING.
