I agree and those people have a valid excuse if they had some disability or other significant hinderance. I do not think anyone is arguing against that

I think what people and certainly I am saying is the vast majority seen on the t.v. apparently are able bodied people - as are the looters There is no reason these people could not have gone to the dome or some other shelter. That they did not - out of stupidity, laziness, stubborness, and/or the desire to loot (trust me it happens) - has caused a delay in rescuing the truly helpless - to what end I can only speculate and be horrified by. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.
