It is absolute insanity that we are still doing 20,000 tests a day
I'd rather the test numbers to be high. It's better proof that case & positive numbers are very much trending in the right direction. If the tests were dropping off, some would argue that there are cases not being reported due to a lack of testing. It's hard to argue against these numbers especially b/c they are still testing.

Lafayette hospitals are still refusing to take on non covid patients that need inpatient surgeries. People that need critical surgeries that have been postponed are not living long enough. The LGMC ceo reported that they were overwhelmed with patients, but now their staff is sick. Even the staff who returns from a covid infection are too fatigued to work normally. Kinda crazy! 96 deaths in lafayette parish from covid but I’d suspect a comparable amount of deaths that could have been prevented if people were taking care and seeing their providers.

Lol false
No surgery that is essential is being postponed
Though in April they were

I’ve had my own surgery canceled twice. First was scheduled late March. Second July 27. Inpatient medically necessary general surgery. Essential.. to me. Spoke with my surgeon yesterday and he said 1 cardiac surgery taking place per day when lgmc normally does 7-10. He reported patients in that group have died before getting what they needed. Maybe he was lying.

And I’ve been positive in this whole thread. The number look great. We should be opening up more and more each week as it becomes apparent that most regions will not overwhelm hospitals. The only thing I’ve been negative on has been the states inability to provide a simple statistic, unless it leans heavily in the shutdown camp’s favor.

ou will see these restrictions with some lightening through September. You will not see Phase 3 unless we are at sub 5% for 3 weeks straight post Labor Day.
I agree with this. Even if the numbers had been brow 5% for the past week, there is no way JBE would loosen the restrictions with schools about to open now and Labor Day right around the corner.

Maybe so. I know someone being treated at LGMC, non covid related, right now.

Why not though? If we are running 5% and hospitals continuously decreasing occupancy, I just don’t understand the fear of allowing places to open more and more. So what if cases go up? Until there is a vaccine, they will always go up after an opening. This spike wasn’t nearly as bad in the hospitals as the first, and NOLA area is practically done with it.
Let’s stop living in fear, start isolating those at highest risk, and go about our lives.

Is there a presser today?
I'm interested in him telling us how high the daily postive % is since LDH hasn't updated in almost 2 weeks and we've had 2 weeks of under 10% in the gross reporting.
