Correct.

You can't look day-to-day. You'll drive yourself crazy.

Also, "muh models" median death projections over the last four days:

51
44
30
37

Actual deaths:

53 (+2)
51 (+7)
34 (-6)
44 (+7)

Pretty accurate

Would be helpful if the state showed us the curve they are looking at. Maybe even one with numbers on it.

Yeah, I think we are headed the right way, but it's not going to be a perfectly linear drop. There will be good days and bad days, but overall, the trend is improving.

Still waaaaay too high, though. I think we are past the peak but that's with all the measures in place. I still think April 30 is a good time to start pulling the measures back, but not before then.

The EBR Coroner doesn't report deaths on the weekends. He reported the 14 deaths from the weekend today.

Now why would they want to calm people and not ensue panic...

I was going to ask if this might be the case.

The huge jump in hospitalizations today compared to yesterday is because easter is such an important day in a religious state like Louisiana. People didn’t want to ruin the day by going to hospital, so they waited until the day after.

OK I Forgot about your rolling averages, as I told the poster who mentioned those before you posted.

I wish I could rescind my "we're going the wrong way" comment. I stand, thankfully, corrected.

Are you charting just the amount it increases? Or actual numbers?

Possibly. EBR jumped Orleans last week in spread rate.

Orleans is passed their curve but it is possible the EBR is moving up theirs.

It's the rolling average of the following:

- Number of new tests performed.
- Number of new positive cases confirmed.
- Number of new deaths.
- Increase (or decrease) in hospital bed usage.
- Increase (or decrease) in ventilation usage.

I purposely am only tracking the changes in hospitalization and vent usage because, from my perspective, it reflects the demand on the system.
