He’s saying that encourage people to stay inside. We aren’t on the same path as Italy.

Why is that shocking. As more tests are available, there will be more cases..


Tripling the number of cases in a day is just a much bigger spike than I was expecting.

I poked my head in my local Mexican restaurant last night, and there were several people drinking margaritas at the bar. That's not quite legal in Louisiana anymore, but I'm not mad at the restaurant owner -- he's getting killed.


Zocalo?

America isn't, because we put in place mandatory social distancing measures much earlier than Italy did, if you're talking about deaths per capita (the only reliable metric, since testing is so variable). We had 41 deaths yesterday, in a country of 325 million. On the day that Italy went into lockdown, they had 170 in a country of 60 million. On a per capita basis, Italy had 20 times our current number of deaths when they went into full lockdown, and we've had a number of mandatory social-distancing measures in place for some days now. We are not going to get that bad.

But New Orleans, though ... it's definitely fair to say that New Orleans is on the same path as Italy. Absolutely nuts that a shelter-in-place order hasn't been issued for Orleans and Jefferson.

I'm in Baton Rouge, not Metairie. And I'm not going to call out the restaurant, because I like the folks there.

Fair. Zocalo in Metairie has a tent set up in the parking lot serving plates and making margs. Was there last night.

It’s not “tripiling” necessarily. More tests are available. If you had a mild fever with some hacking the last 2 months, you probably had it.

Maybe in last 2 weeks, but not 2 months ago.

The week I started orientation at the hospital about a month ago, I had 100ish degree fever, and I had to suck on cough drops for 4 days straight to avoid coughing. I’m betting thats what it was. My cough sounded deeper than when I typically come down with a cold.

Wasn’t enough to prevent me from doing my daily activities

So you're bragging about spreading it around a hospital because you're a dumbass? Strange flex
