Overall the death rate in Louisiana from COVID-19, 273 deaths among a population of approximately 4.6M people equals about 58 deaths per million people.
wouldnt that be calculated by deaths vs. how many people have been confirmed positive, not the overall population?
273/6425 = .0424
edit: math is hard
Multiply that rate by 4.6M (LA pop)= 195,455....doubt we get within half of this

Total deaths divided by total population is another especially since the Gov. said in his most recent presser that the virus is indeed present in every parish, we just have't detected in tests yet. No one is immune from catching it. The figure are always displayed by number of deaths in those confirmed infected, yet no one takes total population into consideration.
