You’re stuck on the nails done and people getting haircuts. Do those jobs not matter to you?

It should be total number of active cases. When you look at how much money you currently have, you don't tally up all the money you have ever earned and say that is how much you have.

But that number is way less scary than 50,000

I'm not sure that I trust any of the numbers.

Confirmed positives in the 19-29 age bracket ballooning. Should cause fatality rate (as measured) to plummet. For the longest time if you looked at the LDH website it looked like the largest demographic in Louisiana is 50-59 year olds, and that there was 10x more of those than 20-somethings.
I suspect the growth in hospitalizations is being driven by SWLA and Acadiana since those areas really haven’t seen their vulnerable population take a hit yet. But, no reason Lake Chuck couldn’t stock up in enough PPE to be able to take it by now.

There’s no way there were only 1600 duplicates or whatever the corrected # was last week

Is it considered a hospitalization only if they are admitted overnight?
Is it considered a hospitalization if they are admitted, treated, prescribed drugs or action, and then discharged to monitor at home? All within, say, 4 hours.
I guess the question is - what is the criteria for “hospitalization” and how are they gathering the information for that data point?

Are hospitalizations going up because hospitals are admitting people they wouldn’t normally have to make money?
Based on what I was told, they are testing everyone admitted to the hospital for COVID. If you’re positive, you’re in the hospitalization stats. Regardless of your symptoms or why you’re being admitted.

Over the last 2 months I started trusting them less and less. I used to trust the Hospitalizations and Vents numbers more than anything but now I don't even trust those.
It's hard to trust them when you find out that if you go in to have broken arm set, or deliver a baby you are tested and if you test positive you are counted as a Covid-19 patient. Yes you have it but if you were not there and would have not been there without the other purpose then why should you be counted as being hospitalized for Covid?
Lots of stories over the last week showing just how the state is manipulating the numbers. This does not help anyone.

I'd like to know the answer to that too.

A guy I know went to the hospital yesterday because he had mild symptoms. Got released within 3 hours. I wonder if his visit counts

Total Hospitalizations for Region 5 (Calcasieu, Beauregard, Jeff Davis, Allen, and Cameron) is 31. It has fluctuated from 29 to 32 over the last eight days. Acadiana Region is at 70, up from 43 10 days ago.

This is an ER visit, not a hospitalization. All patients admitted to the hospital are designated as an inpatient, or as 24 hour observations and are accompanied by an admitting physician's H&P and orders. If they're counting visits to ERs that are subsequently released home as hospitalizations, that's some frickery.

Can a patient not refuse the test? If I show up to the ER with a broken leg will they refuse to treat me if I refuse to be tested?

Talked to my sister who is an ICU nurse at Lafayette General. She did say that they are witnessing an increase in patients in their COVID unit which they set up to treat specifically patients who have the flu. She said things started ramping up last week.

Exactly
You admit a borderline covid case sat 90s on room air, watch them a couple days, discharge, profit

If you don’t have fever & are not showing symptoms I don’t see how they can force the issue
My mom had surgery Friday before last at OLOL & was not tested
