mportant takeaways that they don't want you talking about:

18-29 year olds have always lead the way since the start (may 2020)
5-17 year olds have been top 4 in cases since Jan 2021
Who doesnt want us talking about the numbers they published?

That is also a great graph because it shows no percentage spike for kids due to Delta. That has been a false narrative from the start.

"The Louisiana Department of Health reported 6,088 new cases since its last update on Monday. The positivity rate on tests reported Tuesday was about 19.91 percent"

Might be having a blonde moment, but if there are 6,088 NEW cases since yesterday, and those cases represent 19.91% of total tests, the maths say there were 30,000+ covid tests administered in Louisiana in a single day.

Maybe, but that seems ridiculously high to me.

If they wanted you talking about it, they would talk about it. The number of kids being infected has increased at the same rate as every other age group. It's not suddenly affecting children worse and they're not suddenly more at risk.

Absolutely, and all it takes is a few seconds with Excel or any spreadsheet program to verify using the numbers on the LDH website.

The cases and test dates fall under the same category as deaths when it comes to reporting dates. The percent positive isn't reliable because test dates and positivity dates do not match up. This is NOT happening in a single 24-hour period.

Even the reporting of hospitalizations is lagged. Today's dashboard number is the census number provided yesterday to LDH by the various hospitals.

FWIW today's count is 2895 as reported and what should be the number on tomorrow's dashboard (barring any adjustments). And that number represents what is in the hospital this morning at whatever time the various hospitals reported the numbers so is in reality from yesterday.

More cases, more people in hospital, more deaths, this can't be a surprise?

No surprise. The vast majority of new cases are from the unvaccinated. But I guess first you'd have to believe the virus is real. Amazing how many people I know have lost family members to Covid, and still won't get the vax. I don't get it.

And on that day, 1,900 people were currently hospitalized With 2,800 currently hospitalized, we are reporting 93 deaths Shows the medical community is full of shite around here with "delta variant is more severe!!!!!!"


Or perhaps:
- vaccines prevent severe outcomes and death
- younger people being hospitalized = they are more likely to recover and not die…and the ones who do eventually die are more likely to remain on life support longer than necessary while their family prays for a miracle
