2,400 new cases the last two days. Almost 40% of all cases in the last two days.

Maybe. Regardless St Landry parish has a population of 80k and somehow has half the testing of even Orleans at 400k

Size has less impact than many other factors fwiw. Density for one. Average age. And so on.

Biology and history suggest it will.

true, but there are other factors. Most countries in the Southern hemisphere are not nearly as industrialized meaning that travel numbers to those countries is lower which suggests a possible delay in spread.
Need to look at Austrilia transmission rates; that should give a clearer picture.

not sure how the test results are reported. but, i know for a fact there is at least 1 positive test result in Cameron parish. while that report shows zero.

Most of their deaths were in Lombardy I believe, which would close that gap a little bit. Not sure how much.

more than double LA population

Look at the last 4 days of actual cases vs projected cases

hospitalized and vent numbers are alarming
Especially when you consider that people are still getting hospitalized and needing vents for non-COVID issues as well.

it means we are not likely to hit the 700 deaths per day like Italy has, which I was told LA would almost certainly see by several posters
and you are also making the argument to those of us that told these people why we wouldn't hit Italy's numbers
thanks

we are doing way better than projected, great to see.
not sure what that means big picture, but ya, hope it continues

Plus the bulk of Italy lives on top of each other add that to the fact they touch And kiss each other a lot. We are more spread out but our weakness is still food. We have to hoot these nasty stores to get food. Kind of a choke point.

Straight up comparison of Louisiana to Italy is a red herring given Louisiana has one tenth of the population of Italy. Deaths per day is also a red herring. Proportionally speaking, though, it seems the U.S./Louisiana going with social distancing/closing of businesses earlier than Italy will pay off.
This is the key. And, yes, the numbers are alarming but at least they are somewhat stable versus exponentially increasing.
Also morbid but true, is that as people die, ventilators become free. However, unless people are dying at a faster rate than people are requiring ventilators then it's still a significant issue. Hopefully more ventilators are forthcoming sooner rather than later.

yep. Maybe all these measures we've taken are, you know, working after all

National and state measures are convenient but not all that helpful. Viruses don't give a frick about political borders.
For instance, the U.S. has the highest total cases but currently Wyoming's projections for COVID are incredibly minor.

Does it? What do either of those questions have to do with whether the rate of increase in confirmed cases is, on average, increasing faster in places outside of New Orleans than in New Orleans? That rate is the curve we hope will flatten.
