Hopefully we are better prepared with supplies and have a known treatment schedule to prevent another shut down.


We will also have some built-in acquired immunity.

It shows 851 predicted for today and the LDH site shows that 490 are in use. Not to say that 490 isn't a lot, just that the model is pretty off.


851 is the median projection. The range is 150-1,238 so the current number is within the range.

That's what happens when you have to make projections on limited data and a lack of adequate testing.

The models aren't off; they are wide.

Overall the death rate in Louisiana from COVID-19, 273 deaths among a population of approximately 4.6M people equals about 58 deaths per million people.

CFR for 18-49 will probably range from 0.5 to 0.2%

For instance, the U.S. has the highest total cases but currently Wyoming's projections for COVID are incredibly minor.

No, they don't like people that don't live close to one another.

My expectation is that by fall we will have better treatment protocols and better management from experience. Hopefully our exposure this season will render the virus not-novel and our bodies will have some tools to fight. Things should be opened up by then.

This is a novel virus but it appears to follow the same rules as other viruses.

wouldnt that be calculated by deaths vs. how many people have been confirmed positive, not the overall population?

273/6425 = .0424

edit: math is hard

Multiply that rate by 4.6M (LA pop)= 195,455....doubt we get within half of this

That's one way to look at it. Total deaths divided by total population is another especially since the Gov. said in his most recent presser that the virus is indeed present in every parish, we just have't detected in tests yet. No one is immune from catching it. The figure are always displayed by number of deaths in those confirmed infected, yet no one takes total population into consideration.

Wasn’t the 18-29 confirmed to not have coronavirus?

Studies have been done which try to include that thousands of people who have gotten covid but don’t get confirmed. Most of these studies center on isolated testing like the cruise ships and entire towns in Italy where literally zero healthy people under 65 died.

For the flu and for this demographers will eventually use deaths per 100000 population.

In a typical flu season the us has 15 to 20 deaths per 100000 and Louisiana has 18 to 23.

In 1957 there were 80 and in 1918 there were 300 deaths per 100000.

If Louisiana gets to 2000 deaths, that is 44 per 100000.

In 1957, there was no social distancing or cancelation of sports.

Baton Rouge has about 40 new HIV infections per 100,000. So dying from covid will be about as likely as getting HIV in Baton Rouge.

right now just based on actual confirmed cases and deaths, actual mortality rate is


World - 874,000 cases 43,200 deaths = 4.9%
US - 185,900 cases 3800 deaths = 2.0%
Louisiana - 6,424 cases 273 deaths = 4.2%

lots of unknows like: how many had it and got over it that didnt report, how many in hospitals will die, how does weather play in, etc etc etc.

Just going off what is concrete, it aint good. Long LONG two weeks ahead

edit: 7.2% of US deaths are in Louisiana
