Downward trajectory of documented cases

What does this mean? Does this mean you need to have 14 straight days with fewer new cases than the day before?

Are we already (Louisiana) in the midst of a downward trend? New cases started dropping in earnest on April 10th, but there have been high and low days since.


Also, I don't see how we don't see spikes that keep us perpetually bouncing back between phase 1 and shutdown, or just staying in phase 1 if that's how it works.

But the color got better on the third map. Has to mean we are in a downward trend, right?

The market is going to soar ladies and gents.

This is a great day. We're on our way back. Louisiana might take a bit because of JBE, but the rest of us are likely opening up soon.

Question for you, if you can answer. I've been seeing a lot of banter about case counting criteria. Do you know of any hospitals counting presumptive Covid cases, i.e., without a positive test for the virus?

In Louisiana? JBE said every death reported had a positive test.

I really don't think that much of this has happened outside of NYC and the surrounding area. I do think that a lot of people died of COVID-19 there who were uncounted.

Feeling optimistic in Ohio as well. Governor said we will start the process of reopening on May 1. He didn't give too many specifics on what that means other than the usual stuff, but just hearing him say that made us all smile.

Also noticing an uptick in business this week, especially today. It might be those stimulus checks hitting or just renewed optimism.

Realistically how long are we talking for Louisiana??

It’s called a PUI and yes people report it but I’ve never seen publicly reported numbers for COVID positive that include it without being called out clearly.

Think that they will open the economy for those that have case and death tolls meaning no hot spots, like in Jersey or NY there in the opening back up even as earlier than May 1st!

Those bonuses are only for working a covid unit.

Can’t wait to see which Governors/Local officials ignore the guidelines and keep people locked down.

And then what happens if the Gov says open back up, but a local mayor or whatnot says keep it locked down?

I could easily see Louisiana open back up but NO stay closed.
