These sort of round out the abilities of the Murdoch media (click title to entry - thank you) to actually perform to standards that most Americans recognize as 'reasonable' while still maintaining a focus on Conservative's agenda. Beck is just toxic waste that fills a hole in the schedule as far as I am concerned. He sold his soul to the devil some time ago.
CNN is doing a really good job on this 'thing' that they are doing called, "The Stimulus Project." They are not seeking to corrupt reality and I sincerely appreciate that.
The issues Anderson Cooper, Sanjay Gupta and Karl Penhaul are encountering are a concern, but, realize they have done a really remarkable work in that country.
If I may and Dr. Gupta can pick up with this if he like. I also need to check USGS to see if the plate as settled down at all. I don't believe that is a reality that can be ignored as if it doesn't exist. I might ad, the weather folks at CNN and around the country have done a great job with this impending storm to reach the southern reaches of the USA. In that also lies the reality that Homeland Security does not find it necessary to respond AFTER disaster has struck and Americans have died. I believe Homeland Security is already responding Pre-Emptively (If I dare use that word.) to the impending danger folks will be experiencing due to severe weather. THAT is somewhat of a new precedent.
At this point, the people of Haiti are better off in 'sheet tents' and medical facilities are best in temporary and lightweight structures than any concrete anything. I want to add an article about the concrete in Central American as well.
But, the 'medical asepsis' that is problematic with children, newborns, post partum women and the surgical suite does have a remedy. Not just fans, although that is a good start, but, POSITIVE PRESSURE SUITES.
IDEALLY, what needs to be done in Haiti for better aseptic outcomes for the physicians and surgeons attending to the populous there are 'facilities/tents/quanza huts. I don't know if Quanza Huts have been tested for seismic 'SOUNDNESS,' but, that would be an important component to establishing the safe for the very valuable personnel in Haiti. We don't need to loss them or any more living Haitians.
But, high flow or high volume air movement with 'cross ventilation' or better than that "Roof Ventilation" that moves air, preferably filtered air' from the roof of a structure forcing air out the seams or ventilation panels or simply doors at a higher pressure than the outside. The issue is cross contamination by 'vectors,' namely insects. Higher pressure air movement would help with that and any disease floating in the air. It would also help with body temperature regulation of stressed folks and infants.
The security issues surrounding human trafficking is important to realize, however, keeping folks alive and re-establishing a government with a police force willing to take their jobs seriously is what needs to proceed. I realize the quality of life of Haitian women need to be addressed and the activities of those that are crude and barbaric is offensive to those trying to bring about better outcomes to these people, but, to remove UN peacekeepers or rescue workers to work as temporary Port-Au-Prince police is not exactly a prudent use of 'worker hours.'
Anderson Cooper has gone where no other journalist has cared to go, in tracking down the 'disposition' of the dead. There is only one word and it is tragic. Completely and absolutely tragic. I do know folks outside of Haiti are sicken by the loss of life without consecration. I know that for a fact.
What the ministry involved in this is attempting to do is to remove bodies as soon as they can from the areas the living occupy. What is occurring is some 'shoddy' handling of the 'volume' of remains disposed of in the open at what are suppose to be mass burial graves. That sort of issue only creates 'opportunity' for disease even if it is not in the close proximity of the living. Here again vectors, and I apologize for being so 'clinical,' will carry disease from exposed bodies and poorly attended to remains back to living populations and then there will be an even greater medical crisis.
What the Ministry has to appreciate is there needs to be a CIVILIZED approach to these activities. Trucks, if that is what is to be used, need to stop at some reasonable area for a blessing or prayer or something before proceeding to a pre-determined mass grave. They then have to place the bodies at a reasonable depth and have attendants treat the exposed remains with lime or some type of disinfectant. Then the graves have to be covered and marked. If there is some way of recording people that can still occur that is important, but, in all honesty I doubt any of the dead are recognizable at this point. But, 'numbers and location' are important anyway.
This will slow things down a bit, but, it would be to benefit the living as well as the souls of the dead.
End of that discussion for now. An untidy place to mention MSNBC. Sorry.
I think they have a first rate line up. In all honesty. Their anchors are sincerely wonderful at understanding and validating 'the liberal' value system. Not to say the expertise at CNN is out performed. I don't believe that is possible, but, there is a venue at MSNBC which definately provides a platform for liberals to feel secure. I make that statement without reservation.
With that, I want to post an entry regarding the continually deteriorating events of Antarctica and the impending weather system needs to have an image recorded here. This isn't the first time Human Induced Global Warming has insulted the North American continent with huge amounts of displaced Arctic Circle air either in recent decades.
Have a better day.
