Not all bad, new cases is still trending now and ventilators is still coming way down. So people appear to not be catching it as often and those who do are not getting as sick. Treatment appears to be working. Those that got sick weeks ago unfortunately have the hardest road.

You set the bar too high by posting at 12:01 the past few weeks.

When I hit the LA.Gov site at 12:05 and saw that the number was 14867 I thought damn... no new cases.

So much for the optimism the last few days


what?

hospitalizations are the only bad number

vents are very positive

deaths have been consistently up and down the last week but if you graphed it out, the plot line would be flat

JBE gotta keep those numbers looking bad. We've only spent $573 million which means we as a state are on the hook for 25%. Got to pump those numbers up to $660 million to get that percentage down to 90/10 split Fed/State.

From The Advocate article today:

quote:

As of Monday, Louisiana had spent a staggering $573 million on coronavirus response since the outbreak became known here, more than double the total from last week, according to a breakdown provided by the administration. The budget for the Convention Center project alone has grown to $109.5 million. Louisiana is slated to foot 25% of the bill for its coronavirus spending, which is expected to continue to increase, with the federal government picking up the rest. Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne said once the state spends $660 million, the split is expected to change to a 90% to 10% federalstate match. Officials hope to be able to use some of the $1.8 billion in federal stimulus money coming to Louisiana's coffers on its state share of the split, even though federal law normally prohibits using federal money to match other federal money. Dardenne said the administration expected guidance on those funds in a week.

Vent usage is declining even as cases increase and deaths rise. This is a promising outlook.

hard to wonder what type of backlog exists, strange numbers today with highest daily new death total yet extreme drop in vents used

Drop in vent use is likely directly related to those deaths

Vent usage dropped significantly. That’s good news.

Not for the 70 people who gave theirs up... by dying.

Decrease in positive tests and more hospitalizations requiring fewer vents. Not bad.

Did they win at being the last one?

Can't have any positives if you don't test

I think it helps Tensas Parish that no one knows it exists.
