Louisiana isn’t testing anyone unless they are seriously ill.

I tried and couldn’t get tested. Wasn’t old enough to worry bout

Irrelevant.

This is death per capita, not case fatality rate.

I live in Vermilion Parish, have my yearly sinus issues and no cv symptoms whatsoever and was told I could go to Erath and get tested. I refused, bc I’m not gonna waste a test that someone else needs.

I love how every thread has that one guy who refutes statistics with claims that aren’t even related to what the statistic is saying.

When was this? Last few days or longer ago? In California, we had to limit testing initially because of a physical lack of tests, but now we are testing broadly. If Louisiana is still limiting tests and the infection rate is already so high, in actuality, it's much higher. Which is a bad sort of impressive

LA is 3rd in per capita testing
But testing doesn’t have anything to do with deaths

SARS-CoV-2 testing by state (sortable)

Not sure where you live, but Louisiana as a whole has one of the highest testing rates in this country, behind only NY in tests per million people, and ninth most using the raw number. Testing supplies are relatively scarce, but more coming online. Not enough testing availability to the point where asymptomatic testing is advisable.
