i see Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia are also on a sustained downturns.
And Texas has plateaued. Yet the media is focusing their COVID coverage on The South.

Baton rouge area peaked 2 weeks ago, N.O. peaked last week. Shreveport probably peaks this week.
Hospitalizations in BR leveled off at the end of last week and will probably start decreasing the end of this week.

What is interesting from this site is that high vaccination areas still had similar curves but obviously hospitalizations did not sky rocket. That tells me a couple things:
1. The vaccine is great personal protection for current iterations of Covid
2. The virus is still out there and spreading around. What that means, I’m not really sure.

All praise be our savior JBE, who’s draconian and unnecessary measures have helped extended the precious curves and duration of mitigation decrees and who’s current executive fiats have done nothing but signal his dictatorial virtue.

It means that shutdowns should not happen. The only mitigation is a brief delay in non emergent/urgent cases if a hospital fills up due to a Covid surge. Whether or not there is a lockdown, Covid still circulates. At this point people can do as they please. Live their lives how they see fit.

It means, you should get vaccinated as a mitigating factor against hospitalization, but it 100% should be your choice.
It also means we should stop watching cases as a deciding metric as there is nothing we do short of actual shutdowns/lockdowns, that will slow or stop cases.

Good news! The media highlights things that will get them clicks; no big deal. The trend will ineluctably assert itself. The media can only extend it a week or two.
Once Delta subsides, the public will be inured to this, and it will be impossible to sustain any more lockdowns due to new variants. Variants will come and go. This will be the reality for the rest of our lives. The number of folks who understand that is increasing constantly. Soon it will be a permanent majority and the politicians will follow along.

We should see cases declining in many areas statewide according to this source.
This is good news. Of course we were told on here about 2 weeks ago that the decline would happen in 4-5 days. Still glad to hear it, though.

According to Ochsner over 900 people hospitalized with Chinese Lab made virus. Wonder how many hospitalized or die from the experimental, rushed DNA altering lab made “vaccine”?

The fear porn story about BRGH above the fold in Section B of today's Advocate disagrees.

I agree. But actual shutdowns and lockdowns, where people limit interactions and travel, will slow the rise in cases.
It would also destroy business and permanently hurt the state

I disagree about not watching it. No fear mongering is another thing. We definitely should watch because it is still hear and potentially continuing to change.
