My source who works in admin at another hospital in Louisiana (Not OLOL) says that yes, covid admits are definitely up. But the patients needing hospitalization are the same type of patients who needed hospitalization during the last surge (obese, HTN, diabetes). He also said that the patients are requiring a shorter length of stay due to treatment options and are overall not as sick. Of course, there are outliers in each demographic (the young, healthy 30-40 year old needing hospitalization) but that those cases are definitely not the norm.


This is what I've heard as well. My source, who lives next door and is a professional nurse, says all her colleagues are saying it's false reporting on the news. It's a more equal mix of vaccinated/unvaccinated people and not nearly as critical as they're making it out to be.

Sounds like all rumors and bullshite. From personal observation, there is a lot of Covid going around. So that part is accurate in my opinion.

At my hospital our numbers are creeping up a little. Not overrun by any measure. But we had our main COViD floor completely closed at one point. Now it’s reopened with a decent amount of admits to it. All unvaccinated. Ages range…but seeing a good bit of those in 30-40 year old range. Currently the 30s and 40s groups make up 60% of the patients on our regular COVID floor. In the COVID ICU they make up 20% of the patients

My sibling works at Memorial in LC. He told me yesterday that they have 1/4-1/3 of covid that they had at this time last year and that there are some that have been vaccinated.

He didn't give specific numbers.
