NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell doesn't appear to be in any hurry to reopen New Orleans soon after the state announced it was easing many restrictions on businesses and gatherings. In fact, it could take weeks or more before the city is ready to loosen restrictions.

At a press conference Thursday alongside community partners, she said that while the city's vaccination numbers -- 35% of the city has started the vaccination process -- were among the top in the state and the country at large, there would still need to be a higher threshold before reopening.

The city is under a modified Phase 3 order, which limits the number of people allowed to gather and puts some restrictions on venues and businesses.

And listening to Cantrell, it doesn't appear that the city will loosen restrictions any further anytime soon.

While not stating a firm number of vaccinations to loosen restrictions further, Cantrell mentioned that herd immunity is supposed to be achieved when 75 percent of a population is vaccinated.

If that is the number, or close, it could take a while. It's been more than three months since the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine began hitting arms in Louisiana, so even with additional doses in the form of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, there will likely be a long road ahead for New Orleans.

It could be months before the city reaches that level of vaccination, even with more robust options available.

And Cantrell said the city would be using those vaccination metrics going forward.


And of course our Race Bait Doctor has this to say:

quote:

In Orleans Parish, about 60% of the population is Black. But just over 40% of the distributed vaccines have made it into the arms of Black residents -- mirroring similar statewide trends.

"They have to be the way out for everyone, not just those with the fastest internet or most leisure time," Avegno said.

You will always have a segment that simply refuses to get the vaccine.

Getting to that 75% threshold may never even happen. She's a loon.

If 20% of the population is kids under 17, that means only 5% of adults don’t have to be vaxxed and upgraded to 5G.

This is just another ploy by Libs to give y'all all the chip implant and to expand the welfare nanny state in order to harvest more votes.

Shame the City can't distribute the vaccine themselves with city vehicles and some healthcare workers.

If only the populace was peaceful or willing to accept the vaccine in these neighborhoods

Well that is just stupid.

The Phizer vaccine is only good for 6 mos. The rest are likely similar. She going to shut the city down and make everyone get vaccinated every 6 mos?

“we can’t open until y’all get vaccinated”

Seems a little tyrannical no?

She expects 75% vaccination with a majority population who is skeptical of government mandated vaccines due to past experiences.

No way in hell Orleans gets close to that number. Especially if it has to be refreshed every year.

Region 1 (Orleans and JP) have 58 people currently hospitalized with Covid. In April 2020, Region 1 had 1000 people hospitalized with Covid and the hospital system was able to handle it.

Just saying. I am curious why no journalist has asked the mayor to comment on that.

I love how they act as if just getting the virus and getting over it is useless.

This is a dangerous fricking precedent to set.

I know numerous people who were able to schedule vaccine appointments within hours they had so many open spots. This is pure made up bullshite.
