@asteris The things you're tweeting are being reported, but as side stories since main focus is Manhattan. Expect the narrative to change.

@curtiskj I kinda got that idea. Still a disgrace. American friend just told me up close this is proof positive "poor don't count for shit" -
@asteris People get frustrated easily but 3-4 days to massive aid deployment on an island in flood conditions is actually quite good. -
@curtiskj people allegedly dying & stuffed in makeshift morgues. Then again, I'm half a planet away & inebriated, what do I know? -
@asteris These are the people who died in the storm and bodies found while clearing rubble. They're releasing numbers as they are identified -
@curtiskj contaminated floodwater. Has typhus become a consideration yet? Not so sure all casualties old. Some harrowing reports out there -
@asteris I'm sure dysentery will be an issue for some, but hygiene conditions should get better now that there's a more robust aid presence

@asteris For example we finally got some real MSM coverage of Staten Island today. Once Manhattan has lights back on, expect focus to shift. -
@curtiskj NYC news this week make me want to drink. If I start thinking about Haiti etc, I might well become an alcoholic. Shit. -
@asteris Notice how little news has been coming out of Cuba, even though they admit that their coffee industry was pretty much wiped out.
