The state outside New Orleans and Baton Rouge are all having their 1st peak now. New Orleans should have progressed to phase 3. Baton Rouge is on a 2nd peak tied to tigerland, but hospitalizations are steady so it is mostly young people.

Over 120 hospitalizations in less than a week. I wonder what areas are seeing the heaviest increases?

I agree.....it’s stupid.

If 100 people test positive twice, they count it as 200 positives, if I understand this correctly.

Higher numbers of positive tests (vs actual cases) might work as a scare tactic, but makes the hospitalization rate and mortality rate look artificially low.

So all the testing is finding a lower incidence of infection.

So much for mu spike!

You understand it correctly. Some hospital systems are putting measures in place to curtail this, such as not retesting an already positive patient for a certain number of days.

Now, we only count a covid patient for our metric as someone in the hospital due to covid. Something tells me the state is fricking cooking that number

Doesn't anyone who comes to the hospital for covid count as a hospitalization? Even if they don't stay overnight?

I have no fricking clue where 700+ hospitalizations are coming from

Ochsner health, across all of our system, has only 55 covid patients right now....

Say a pregnant person comes in to deliver and tests positive. Obviously that patient is getting admitted due to the birth Does that count as a COVID hospitalization?

Maybe for the retarded LDH and JBE


But we are smart enough to not count those on our internal graphs

No, have to be admitted. But it could be a 23 hour admit for monitoring

Your conclusion from the data isn't completely wrong, but you are using 30 days.

The last week has shown a shift in data. Whether that trend holds the next 30 days is yet to be known.

Even if they did the total hospitalizations wouldn't hide that.

It would if it's constant, daily turnover.

They told my daughter she was to wait 10 days between test.

The CDC called last night and told us to not get her retested since she’s not showing any symptoms just stay home until her 14 days is up since all 15 people that she was in contact with all tested negative

Are people just getting tested for the hell of it? If not, a 5% positive rate for people that think they have the virus is crazy low.
