Honestly it sounds like many of them are making do with it, resourceful, and getting by just fine... Sadly someone died but it's a festival in a fairly extreme environment with substances floating around and that's bound to happen at some point. It's the media who sees an opportunity to call the situation "treacherous" and the public who sees the people there as easy targets to poke fun at. Tbh seems like a wonderful group of people to be trapped in the desert with. Not interested in the media's sensationalism.
