She sure is a pathetic character. She hasn’t let all these disasters keep her from having a good time and drinking it up.

And she’ll be re-elected overwhelmingly.

That’s just how far gone New Orleans is.

Nope. They’re still up there rotting away. They had to send a drone up to readjust the tarp covering them.

Yes there was local concern...however this guy is a complete idiot


quote:

On February 25th, Fat Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control issued a stark warning that the growing pandemic would hit the United States with full force and that preparation needed to be made now for the inevitable spread of the disease inside the United States. Localities were advised to take precautions including the cancellation of large community-based events.


OK, wonderful...Mardi Gras ends at midnight on the 25th...

quote:

The New Orleans Mardi Gras website for February 26th showed the cancellation of at least four parades scheduled to be held in the city, all due to sudden concerns about the spread of the coronavirus.


February 26th was Ash Wednesday...Mardi Gras is OVER!!!

February 25 was Mardis Gras day.
The first COVID-19 patient was noted as March 6th.
Honestly I can’t see how anyone could have called off Mardis.

they didn’t cancel parades because of rain, the tandem floats killing people? Or could they be referring to St Patrick’s and Irish Italian parades?

City Holds Multi-disciplinary Coronavirus Planning Meeting
While the risk of the general public contracting coronavirus in New Orleans is very low, the New Orleans Health Department has been monitoring the 2019 novel coronavirus (201-nCoV) which began in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in December 2019.

Today the New Orleans Health Department and Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness held a multi-disciplinary planning meeting to ensure that all agencies within New Orleans are developing coordinated plans to respond to possible cases.??Currently, the risk of the?general public in New?Orleans?contracting?the?coronavirus is very low. While there are currently 11 cases in the United States, there have been no cases of 2019-nCoV in Louisiana.

The New Orleans Health Department is coordinating directly with the Louisiana Department of Health and attends weekly calls with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The department has provided regular updates to all New Orleans healthcare providers to?ensure that?healthcare systems are prepared to easily identify suspected cases, implement infection control procedures, and test and/or treat an individual if needed.?The City is also working closely with the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), Port of New Orleans, Coast Guard, and Customs and Border Patrol to review and implement new federal guidelines for individuals with travel history to China. At this time, the federal government does not recommend screening at MSY and has rerouted all flights with passengers from China to one of the 11 airports where screening is currently taking place.

Our public?health and healthcare?systems are ready for Mardi Gras?and the coronavirus poses a very?low risk to the Carnival celebrations. Again, while the risk for coronavirus in New Orleans is very low, we are currently experiencing a bad flu season and the best?method to reduce the?spread of ANY virus is to wash your hands?regularly, stay?home?when you are sick and cover your cough.?

Toya was criticized by Nunguesser for calling off the St Patrick’s Day parade. I wonder if he will ever own that one.

If you click the link in the article, It will take you to the site he is referencing. There are a list of events cancelled.

I think what he is saying is that events immediately after MG were being cancelled and so the mayor did in fact recognize the threat of outbreak.

Let me first reiterate that Mayor Cantrell is a total ¢unt


That said, I am not a fan of playing 20/20 hindsight with this. I don't believe it would have mattered if someone else was in charge instead of the ¢unt.

So I'm inclined to leave the ¢unt alone on this one.

Remember that when Fat Billy runs for Governor in the next election. And remember the deal he struck with Honor Choade to stay out of the race and not campaign for the Republicans in the past one.

Back to OP, as I keep saying, BR has an idiot for a Mayor, yet Latoya makes her seem like a Mensa by comparison.

What Happened To Accountability?


I have the same question for the automatans who lionize Trump. What happened to accountability?

Think about that!
