What do you think the death toll will be?

[liberalpragmatist]

This is a very morbid topic but one that will have to be confronted in coming days.

I think it's easily more than 3000. 5,000 perhaps. I fear it will be 10,000-15,000.

2. They figured there were about 44,000 left in

the city after they evacuated the superdome, the convention center and the highway.
I would guess at least half of those won't make it because of lack of water.

4. Plus the rest of La. and the Mississippi Gulf Coast - nt

5. I think the final total

will be between 20 and 25k.

6. oh ....................

by the time this is "over" ... if it ever end or if *we* live to see the end of it my personal estimate is probably about 5,000,000 persons or more.

Diseases are just beginning to appear. 10-15,000 is a very conservative bush*t figure IMO. :grr:

8. Some have started to commit suicide

WWL hosts said Mayor Nagins reported the suicideof 2 workers who were assisting in rescues. I just keeps getting worse.

9. Six figures, easily...

But we'll probably never hear it.
