Italy’s population is 13x greater than LA


You don’t get to use that argument. When non panickers were saying we aren’t the next Italy because of population, panickers said “EXACTLY, we have less people and it’s the same trend!!! aaaahhhhh!”

Now population matters because the trends aren’t lining up?

I've heard "experts" say it's more humidity than heat
We better hope not, based on the Harvard study put out a couple of days ago, if this thing is affected by seasonality and we lockdown in the summer, then we are in for another lockdown in the fall. Kiss football season goodbye.

It is 100% going to spike again in the fall.

Hopefully we are better prepared with supplies and have a known treatment schedule to prevent another shut down.

What do either of those questions have to do with whether the rate of increase in confirmed cases is, on average, increasing faster in places outside of New Orleans than in New Orleans? That rate is the curve we hope will flatten.
You posted the graph of Nola vs the State, not me.

One of my good friends that was tested 8 days ago finally got her results today, positive. She has long had no more symptoms and has been self isolating.


thats what I was thinking yesterday...these "new" cases are not "new" they are positive test from people that are no longer having symptoms....

So out of the 4.6 million people in LA, 273 peopl have died and 6,400 have the virus that in most cases result in flu like symptoms. For fricks sake, what are we doing. Open the country up.

Yes, I sure did post a graph showing the rate of daily increase in both. Aka "the curve". Then you responded durrr what about per capita durrr population durrr and other irrelevant information to the curve.

So I'll ask again, why do those things matter with respect to whether the curve is flattening? Why is it a "lie"?

The numbers are going to keep rising or at best staying the same for another week or so.

That’s the earliest we’ll start seeing the numbers drop to reflect preventative measures. Do yourselves a favor and don’t panic thinking that nothing we’re doing is working when the numbers don’t get better over the next week

Well, for one, the data is never going to be linear. It needs to be normalized. It’s better to look at a log scale as well. Second, the point I was making is that Louisiana as a whole is doing Relatively well and it’s Nola disproportionately dragging the state’s numbers “down”.

Some of those stats in the link IE vents in use are better than what was predicted for today via this link .. scroll to Louisiana and hold the mouse over APRIL 1 .. it predicted many more vents needed today

LINK

It shows 851 predicted for today and the LDH site shows that 490 are in use. Not to say that 490 isn't a lot, just that the model is pretty off. Wonder if JBE & company are using this model at all?

we are doing way better than projected, great to see.


actually we arent doing better, were just a day behind



as far as the deaths, they arent happening as fast, so either people are getting better or theyre hanging on longer before dying.

if cases keep rising so will deaths, sooner or later based on the mortality rate...whatever that may be

Yes they have so that is why I'm wondering and hoping that these aren't the only thing decisions are being based on.
