People won’t be infected forever. They either die or the virus passes. When was the first case in Louisiana? Does that person still have the virus? Something to consider.

It is very possible less than 10 people are hospitalized in EBR with this virus.

You got it. People on here will continue to bitch and wine if 80% the state had it. It’s all about “I don’t want to be inconvenienced any no matter what happens to anyone else.”

Right. Why are some forced to suffer and sacrifice everything because others are scared?
The scared ones can self isolate and come out when this is over.

It’s not about inconvenience. I am inconvenienced on a daily basis but I’m not upset about it.
Since this thing started my family and I have been washing our hands each time we come and go from the house and sanitizing between washes and making sure we avoid unnecessary social situations. I’ve been doing all of that without a government mandate to do so.
It’s about personal responsibility and restrictions on governmental overreach and abuse of power.
And what’s worse than the abuse, in my opinion, is that not only is there a massive ground swell of support for these government actions but there’s a large vocal group saying they haven’t gone far enough. That terrifies me. It’s one thing for the government to advise you to do certain things. It’s an entirely different thing for the government mandate you take certain actions. That’s a very important difference.

Neither does Heart Hospital of Lafayette. This is the lowest census we’ve had since Christmas.

OMG, some of you will never understand. The % of positives hospitalized is meaningless. They are only testing people with severe symptoms. 
Almost all percentages are meaningless now, because the denominator - # of folks with the virus - is completely unknown.

I wouldn't put any stock in that data. Directly next to the 95% mild cases, it says 13% of the 'closed' cases have resulted in death. They have many active/mild cases that probably should be in the recovered column. That error/omission is causing serious/critical cases to be too low and also skewing the deaths to a higher percentage than they actually are.

The Alabama Dept. of Public Health just came out and said that "up to 7 percent" of Alabama's cases are hospitalized. First time I had seen a figure given. Must be looking at about 10 hospital cases state wide.
This is the figure that needs to be tracked, not "confirmed cases." I don't think the 93%+ that are just recovering at home matter. I'm sure it sucks for them, but they are going to recover.

NY Gov Cuomo has been giving hospitalization numbers every day for NY state:
Saturday: 18% of 10k cases hospitalized.
Sunday: 14% of the 15k cases hospitalized
Today: 13% of 21K cases hospitalized
I would guess that NY now has such a large sample size that the % of hospitalizations may be somewhat close what people in other places begin to see.
Saturday: 18% of 10k cases hospitalized.

So:
Saturday: 1800 patients hospitalized.
Sunday: 2100 patients hospitalized.
Today: 2730 patients hospitalized.
Hospitalized likely doesn't equate to "in ICU on a vent."

What percentage of positive cases are requiring hospitalization? I am starting to believe that this information is being withheld on purpose.
Under the testing criteria in place before last Monday, pretty much all of the tests conducted in Louisiana were on hospitalized patients. If they did not require respiratory therapy they weren't being admitted, and almost no one was tested as an outpatient.
However, with the opening up of the testing criteria, the drive through testing, etc., the number hospitalized among those confirmed positive should be going down significantly.
But I haven't seen any statistic published on this particular issue so all we can do in the absence of actual data is speculate.

Yes, he said that the statistics are just the cases requiring hospitalization, not necessarily ICU ward.

I know of one of the early local cases here the patient (50 yr old ish female with asthma) has been in the hospital for a few days as precaution. No icu.

"Mild" just means not needing critical care. It can range from sniffles to pneumonia. A mild case can still put you out of action for quite a while.

If the main reason we are locking everything down is to keep hospitals from being overrun the way they are in Italy and Spain, then looking at the number of people being hospitalized seems more informative than almost anything else I've seen.

Thought about this same question today during the Cumo Presser in NY
17k cases
How many of those 17k are in hospital.
