approximately 2400 recoveries last week according to NOLA.com but no mention of that by LDH twitter.

They excellent at manipulating the numbers and the narrative to the general public.

Who is “they”? That’s a pretty impressive coalition of hospitals working together for your theory. Very impressive.

However, if the deaths don’t start to uptick soon, it’s going to look like this is really transmissible but not all that deadly to the young.



That’s because it isn’t. And everyone knows it.

Yeah but still about 1/3 of our peak hospitalization. EASILY manageable.

You're right, it's nothing like the April numbers but it is a disappointing trend after hospitalizations stayed around 550-600 all June

Just rode by the Coliseum in Rapides. Cars wrapped around the place for testing. Easily 100 cars in line, probably more because there were two lines of em that probably stretched for 3-400 yards.

so how many of that 46% of 29 and younger have had to be hospitalized? Wouldn't that be a fun fact to know?

Odds of a shut down Wednesday morning? Maybe not a complete return to 1, but severe limits on social activity.

Positivity rate and hospitalizations continue to rise


Percent positive can probably be explained by a number of factors including, but not limited it, contact tracing (actively hunting virus in a target rich environment) and issues with the electronic reporting of specifically employer driven tests (positives must be reported immediately, negatives may not be reported until later).


Who knows what's going on with hospitalizations? People coming in for surgery, getting a positive test, and staying for their recovery count as a CoviD hospitalization? Someone coming in as a car wreck same scenario? Broken legs? On and on...

Not to mention that hospitals themselves are likely good vectors for the disease so that folks already admitted or in the ICU go from being negative to positive over the length of their stay.

JBE has already made it clear that is not a hill he is prepared to die on. He knows that mandatory masks are unenforceable and would probably result in more people not wearing them in protest. Now he may make any business require them.

Docs & ER departments. All I'm saying is that now that there is room, a medical professional may not sending those home who "may" be on the fence of needing medical observation when there is ample bed space. Before it was a true triage due to limited space .. and now it's not so it's perhaps easier to make the decision to admit people for observation.

I'm not claiming any type of coalition.

Yes but again an increase in everything should be expected when we start to open up more

You ever been to an ER for medical attention? I’m not sure it works like that.

Hospitals in Louisiana reached capacity and turned away patients during COVID?
