We deal with outbreaks every year. Norovirus, flu, c. diff, et al. Covid-19 is unlike anything we’ve ever had to deal with.

Since 7/31 our percent positive on total tests is 6.9%. Even accounting for back dating of tests, I'd love to see the math that says that every day in August in still > 10% according to LDH

the August 7 official number... which is the most recent given... was 10.33%, which continued a steady decline.

I imagine the next time the LDH updates that chart... we'll fall below the magical 10% mark

I disagree wholeheartedly

I see zero reason why we couldn’t respond to covid like every other virus outbreak in history

Hot spot areas adjust(possible shutdowns on very local efforts), quarantine the sick, shelter those at risks

What makes covid-19 so different to other virus outbreaks?

I bet you that Honor Chode will have a much different take on those number as you do.

Although speaking of you working with elderly individuals, in comparing this pandemic to the two other most well knowns: swine and Spanish, this one attacks the elderly the worst while the other two burned through the young

So, it is really odd to me out most extreme response by a mile is to the pandemic that burdened the elderly and those at the end of life, and not the two pandemic as that attacked the young

Seems strange. Is it a result of social media, or something else?

Another day well below 10% and another day the state doesn’t update their percent positive chart since August 7th. This is over. We’ve reached a level of immunity like Orleans Parish has. Hospitalizations will continue to plummet.

Over 1 million die every year from tuberculosis.

It seems like they are updating it once a week. Every Tuesday or Wednesday

It’s an election year. The NYT finally admitted it yesterday. “We got Ohio State football canceled. Will Joe Biden win Ohio now?”

Good observations.

Because the old folks make the rules. Not the kids.

It is a legit question. If we meet 14 days of the benchmarks why can’t we open up more before the “assigned August 28?”

Yes, I know they would then pull out some stat about Bunkie or wherever
