New Orleans's coronavirus death rate is THREE TIMES higher than New York City's, driven by the Big Easy's soaring rates of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure
Orleans Parish, which encompasses New Orleans, has a rate of 29.5 coronavirus deaths per 100,000 people
That's three times more than the rate for New York City, which is about 10.8 deaths per 100,000
Doctors say obesity and related ailments, such as diabetes and hypertension, may be part of the problem
A CDC report found that six percent of COVID-19 patients with existing conditions die of the virus
The Louisiana health department revealed 97% of COVID-19 patients who died had a pre-existing condition
New Orleans is at greater risk that the national population because 39% of residents have high blood pressure, 36% are obese and about 15% have diabetes

Louisiana isn’t testing anyone unless they are seriously ill.
I tried and couldn’t get tested. Wasn’t old enough to worry bout

So: New Orleans culture is good at killing folks.
Not exactly Earth-shattering news here sport.

I’d go out on a limb and say that New Orleans MSA is the unhealthiest metro area in the country with a population greater than 1M.
None of this should shock you.

Just give it time New York. Yours will look like ours soon. New Orleans will peak weeks before New York will.

Meh.
The gap is already closing. It’s just a function of them being such a larger state. If spread starts around the same time in both states and its exponentially growing at the same rate, the state with the lower population is going to have a higher per capita for a while.

Hospitalization and ventilators taken are the only relevant statistics to follow as we go through the next couple of weeks.

What the hell did people think was going to happen? Louisiana is at the bottom of the list when it comes to health in this country. I love Louisiana and I love living here but at the end of the day we all know what type of lifestyles a lot of people living in this state go about on a daily basis.

I can confirm and just update y’all. You will see a surge of deaths in BR in the next week

Gov Edwards and Mayor of New Orleans failed to do their jobs.

N0, it is not because that is not how they are determining the death rate.
New York has 2373 deaths & 92,472 infections. 2.5
Louisiana has 310 deaths and 9150 infections. 3.2
Explain Italy and Spain at close to 10% for me.

I walk around Walmart amongst the general population and wonder how some of our citizens are not dropping dead of heart attacks. I love the south and all the great food but dang a little exercise would not hurt.

You’re overstating it. They said those specific risk factors “may” be part of the reason.
More than likely, people in N.O. are
continuing to socialize. The numbers show that infections exploded with Mardi Gras. No
big surprise
