Per LDH Website

LDH provides one daily update each day at 12PM CT except on Saturdays.








Hospital and vent data is delayed and will be updated when available.

Due to recent changes in federal reporting requirements, hospital related data has been delayed. LDH will update these data as soon as possible.

Why do I feel like the numbers will only go UP with this new reporting?

I could be wrong but I feel the opposite. I think the federal reporting requirements are more strict as to what is a COVID Hospitalization. It's alarming that they didnt post the numbers but I think we are going to see decreases going forward.

So the hospitalizations probably took another big drop and the sky screamers in charge are melting about it trying to adjust the numbers before releasing them

1st day in some time. Wonder if this will be the start of a trend, or will it bounce back and forth for a few weeks.

You know they are cooking hospital books.

Y’all are so dumb, we all want this to end. It finally seems like things are moving in the right direction, let’s hope it continues and we can resume our lives.

Or we could have never stopped living our lives, protected/isolated the vulnerable, and be well past this right now

I still find it difficult to fathom that 43 people died in one day in Louisiana as a result of this virus. Have we become numb to the number of deaths?
