Louisiana reported 8,896 additional cases today with 11% of tests positive (molecular tests only, 3 days of data).

Orleans Parish reported 776 additional cases today with 9.5% of tests positive.

Seeing a sizable drop in cases (though fewer tests than last weekend).

Meanwhile the top headline on the Advocate's website is "COVID in Louisiana schools: As students return to campuses, infection rates are worse than ever"

ETA: My point is that the Advocate won't run a story about COVID unless it's negative.

JBE enters the chat to proclaim this is all due to his mask mandate...

Because we can also see the Rt for most of the state's most populous areas. There may be little jumps here and there on the way down, but it will be progressively down for the forseeable future over time.

Why are we strictly tracking positive cases if the vaccine does not stop testing positive or transmission?

We've had a major uptick in hospital admissions and vents, worse than the 2nd wave that came through. However, people are being discharged at a faster pace.

What does the vaccine have to do with this?
