re: Louisiana COVID-19 - May 11, 2020 Update: 31,215 cases - 2,242 deaths - 220,830 tests

If you update those number to today, it's around 6,704 Active, 5,394 of those in public

31,815 active cases
2,242 deaths
22,608 (recovered as of 5/10)

6,965 Active cases based on data provided. Enter assumptions

Recovered data is 1 day old. 14 days from 5/10 is 4/26. New cases: 4/26 = 261

6,704 Active cases
1,310 in Hospitals
5,394 Conservative estimate of cases not in hospitals

Obligatory: The 14 day guidelines are given by ldh and based on when the patient tests positive. The information that we have readily available is when the positive test result is known, not when the test was administered. In addition, the date of the onset of symptoms does not matter either.

To give a range: If you add the new cases from 4/28 through 5/11 (14 days), you get 4,750 cases. 7,290 cases from 4/21 through 5/11 (21 days)

I mean...I can see him saying exactly that.

just ran some percentages...

Percent of positive cases of those tested: 14.4%

Percent deaths of those tested: .059%

Percent deaths of positive cases: 7.0%

IMO the death percentage of positive cases will continue to drop...

He's not that hard to figure out

I understand that but the optics are bad which JBE will use to justify the extension.

People in this state are stupid and don’t think like you and I.

Doesn't Region 6 have a quite a few facilities like prisons etc...?

In Louisiana, ICE has detention contracts in Basile, Ferriday, Jena, Jonesboro, Natchitoches, Pine Prairie, Plain Dealing, Richwood, and Winfield.

Ferriday & Jena are the only 2 in region 6

Not sure about jails

The graphs help tell a story based on the information that we have at hand. However, they do not tell the full story. Useful information would be total cases as of the date symptoms begun. They have that information on a chart on ldh's website; however, you can no longer see the actual data by date.

The data at hand gives the same weight of someone that received same day turnaround on the first day symptoms started as someone that had to wait a week to get their test in early April because those were the procedures and that lab finally turned the results over. But, it is the only information the public is privy to.
