Are you telling me the city where people are still going to parties, where people aren’t taking this seriously and think this is overblown, is going to be hit hard? Couldn’t have told you that...



Which city is that?

JBE is quickly morphing into the second coming of Gov. Blanco after Katrina when she got on national TV and wrung her hands (literally) and cried saying "I don't know what we're going to do...."


Meh. He might get there. But she was a mess almost as soon as it happened. He is, at least for now, at least not a mess in public.

We can criticize his decisions, sure, but at least he seems to be keeping it together in front of the cameras.

By raw numbers, sure. How about per capita? You understand EBR parish has half a million people, right?

So...when does the selective treatments start? Will it be those older than 60 are turned away, or are they going to go off of voter registration cards and only treat registered dems? These are the important details they left out.

If it's this bad why hasn't he shut down the Bridges and block I-10 exits to everyone but essential personnel only?


Because he wants the whole state to suffer equally. He could have ‘locked down’ Orleans and Jeff parish weeks ago. shite loads of people have already fled to other areas where they have family or friends, taking the virus with them. It’s stupid, and it’s contradictory to everything they’ve been telling us about the ‘flatten the curve’ strategy.

exactly. Posters here will sensationalize the shite out of something while simultaneously bitching about the media doing it.

Article headline:
New Orleans on track to run out of health care capacity by 1st week of April, John Bel Edwards says

Harry Lee would already have blocked off the bridges leading into JP from Orleans. Cynthia is slacking

And the quote is from something he said a week ago. (As far as I can tell, the governors' conference call Trump held was Monday, 3/16.)

Are we two days from being overwhelmed?

I understand that EBR has over 10% of the state's population and only 4% of the state's COVID cases while having one of the most robust testing paradigms.

Anything else?

If Orleans is about to explode that means the social distancing hasn't done anything.
