I read what you said, and I don't buy it yet. I cannot disprove it, either. I have not yet found any information I trust on the point. From a personal standpoint, I often take Tchoupitoulas St., which is a river front avenue, to work. The congestion, traffic, trucks, etc., on it is a good gauge of port activity. While not empty, the activity is way, way down. And this makes sense given the fact that we only have about 15% to 25% of the population back. I suspect you're overselling the "port is back to normal" angle but I cannot yet prove it. How a port might be back to normal with only 15%-25% of the population back makes no sense to me.
