Once the vent # hit around 600+, we might start seeing 50 deaths daily.

Read many sources on 50% of those on vent die. LA might fare even worse.

and all the positive test that are coming back 5 days later, those people are probably better by now


Adding to you and the person that noted how the numbers lag behind, this group was probably tested a 5-7 days ago. Incubation is 2-14 days which means most of them likely got sick right around or before the stay at home went into effect.

Hopefully we will see results of the stay at home in mid april

JBE is going to bitch a lot more about flattening the curve, but it’s going to run it’s course because we still have to shop, eat, etc. There will be a point that we have to accept that we have to open the economy because that is worse than the virus.


People keep saying this but it doesnt appear that is a plan at this point. Some states are pushing into June.

They said goodbye yesterday through a closed window.


This is by far the worst part.

I know someone who's father passed away last week from it. He never got the chance to say goodbye really, dad was in a senior living facility and went straight to a hospital and a vent, family was never allowed to come visit to say goodbye.

To make matters worse, his mother (married to his father) passed away about 3 weeks ago, was never diagnosed but they think she might have had it and gave it to him.

Orleans Parish "shutdown" before the rest of the state, so it will be interesting to see if the numbers for Orleans start to level off in a week or so, 


And if Orleans actually followed the guidelines

Clicking around on the LDH website it seems to me that St Charles and St John have more cases than they've ran tests. How is that possible?


I believe the designate cases by where the person lives but tests by the location of the testing/

St. Charles and St. John folks were going to New Orleans to get tested.

My wife’s grandmother is in her 90’s and in a nursing home and they called in Hospice yesterday. They’re giving her a week to live. None corona related but it sucks bc the family isn’t allowed to see her and say goodbye and they won’t be able to have a funeral. It’s really sad.

They’ve been preparing for over a year for this time to come and now that it’s here there’s nothing they can do.

So basically Louisiana is mirroring Italy, just one day behind.


that isn't how this works


actually he isnt far off

even though it cant be relied on (as we've disucssed previously) look at Rando's post, the numbers look like were one day behind the Italy pace on cases and two days behind on deaths

better medicine over here maybe

edit: link to why it one doenst equal the other

edit2: 6500/290 tomorrow based on that

Gotcha. Or I guess it could even be that they went by driver's license address and not even actual place of residence?
