Hospitalizations have been flat in BR and NO. Most growth has been in Lafayette and Sw Louisiana. Shreveport has leveled but is high. Lafayette and Shreveport each have about as many hospitalizations as BR and NO combined.

Are we going to jump on the older people today?

30 and older accounted for 61% of the cases in Louisiana today.

Or is that only fun with the young people?

From the LDH dashboard on the numbers:

quote:

Some negative test results from commercial labs may not have been reported to the state.


Goes back to electronic reporting and positive tests having to be immediately reported, which can drive percent positive numbers.


This one in regards to their percent positive stat is a bit confusing:

quote:

Percent Positive is calculated as the number of positive tests divided by the number of positive and negative tests on the day of specimen collection


Does this sound to anyone else as though percent positive is somehow date corrected?


Edit to add:
It seems that caveat about percent positive relates to the specific graph charting percent positive, which is indeed back dated.

How many of those positives are the same person?


According to Dr. Stefanski, a case is only counted one time per person. They removed 1,600 duplicates but have changed their reporting method to avoid duplicates.

From what I understand most people
In the vents for as long as COVID-19 has required have to be sedated for long stretches of time. The sedation is what puts them into addiction.

Does anyone believe there are only 1600 duplicates out of 767,000 tests?

Every single positive is counted as a new case. Even if the same person tests 5 or 6 times before getting the 2 negatives they need to return to work.

Trying to scare parents
———————————-

Not working here. We’re hostong a group of college friends for our kid. Only 8 so 10 total with me and my husband. Their parents were cool with it — a couple didn’t come as their parents weren’t cool with it.

To each his own.

why do they make such a point of 39% of positives were under 29? especially since 50% of population is under 30?

Getting a positive test, and not getting sick at all, only makes young people feel more immune.....


When I was 18 I wouldn’t give a frick about getting something that didn’t make me sick

Lord knows I wasn’t worried about HPV then
