Orleans averaging right at 50 cases per day is a big improvement


The Jeff Asher dude (who’s a good follow on Twitter) seems to think they’re might be a big testing backlog for Orleans

I know you’re being facetious but I’m hoping that we’ll learn in a week that the masks are working. A lot of people hate the masks so they want them to fail. I want the cases to go down so we can have somewhat normal lives soon.


2 weeks in on the ebr one and 1 week in on statewide. I’m sorry bro, but seriously what will we do when the masks make no difference in numbers. Bc so far they really haven’t.

Jefferson is the weird one in that it was in that first spike with NOLA. Now it’s holding its own in the 2nd wave as well. Lafayette, Lake Charles, etc...are all in their first wave. EBR looking like 2 equal waves (neither as big as Nola’s 1st).

Nola had some huge testing numbers a month or so ago. Not sure if the state moved some of those tests to other parishes when the others were spiking.

Even if it is two days worth it’s still the largest increase in new cases on a given day. Not looking good.


I don't understand what this means.

It would be about 1550 or so each day which isn't anywhere near the largest increase on a given day.

It actually is looking good because that is down from the previous 5 days.

You need to look at % positive before you declare the numbers are looking good

Get off the % positive bandwagon for now. The largest health care group in the state, Ochsner, is only testing symptomatic cases right now. That is going to skew the numbers towards a higher % positive.

1500 per day is much better than 2k. If masks are working we should see the number of cases start to trend down in the next week.

People have to actually wear them. A mandate without broad compliance does no good.

Good. Since you don’t believe in the virus, it’s gone, right?

When we were testing 20,000+ and anyone and everyone who may have come into contact with a covid positive you were correct. Now we are only screening symptomatic patients. That has to skew the numbers.

When did this become the case? Because someone in my office just got tested last week after being exposed to a positive case, but was showing no symptoms.
