re: Louisiana COVID-19 - April 2, 2020 Update: 9,150 cases - 51,086 tested - 310 dead

I'm encouraged...encouraged by the capacity of the hospital beds and vents right now, and encouraged by what I'm seeing in the hospital where the bulk of my hospital practice is. We are holding our own right now, and I feel a bit better every day. One thing that is encouraging at least here is that the hospital admin in conjunction with the medical staff is continually planning and staying on top of the curve. Among the medical community there is a ton of free exchange of information and discussion which is very refreshing.

I'm gonna say this here because I'll tell everyone that will listen - the nursing staff, house keepers, maintenance, etc. are workhorses. They are doing what they do with amazing morale here, and that is good to see.
