2. Yes, but how many deaths TOTAL.

Not just the ones that they determine to be hurricane deaths using whatever methods they think will best hide the dead the most efficiently.

4. Heard From A Health Professional Working in The Baton Rouge.....

area is that they've already gone through the first 10,000 body bags and started on their second.

This was relayed to me by a reputable source that talked to this health professional and a professional meeting last week.

Is there any way to verify this? Seems to me if the death toll were so high that just the amount of people involved with taking away the bodies - there would be no way to silence them. Or do health professionals and recovery teams have to take a oath of secrecy?

7. I take it with a huge grain of salt. How can they physically recover

10,000 bodies in a short time interval when the governor was complaining only last week of the slow recovery effort? When much of the city was still under water?
