Louisiana COVID-19 - May 16, 2020 Update: 34,117 cases - 2,413 deaths - 259,742 tested

34,117 active cases
2,413 deaths
22,608 (recovered as of 5/10)

9,096 Active cases based on data provided. Enter assumptions

Recovered data is 6 days old. 14 days from 5/10 is 4/26. New cases: 4/26 - 5/01 = 2,199

6,897 Active cases
1,028 in Hospitals
5,869 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.

If you add the new cases from 5/03 through 5/16 (14 days), you get 4,968 cases. 7,607 cases from 4/26 through 5/16 (21 days)


Can't wait for them to update the recovered #s to clear out the bag logs that is causing the estimated cases to be so high

Weird note, Orleans actually went down 6 total cases

Hospitalizations decreased by 63 again
Ventilator use decreased by 9

That’s an uptick.

Stay safe. Stay sheltered. We are all in this together.

He said it in his press conference yesterday

I understand the 60+ crowd.



I don't understand younger people, unless they are visiting the older or vulnerable crowd.

I went back to the gym yesterday and every person I told seemed to think it was a bad idea. 25 year old co-worker that's in great shape "no I think it's too soon, I wouldn't go back yet". ...but why not? Little risk to him or myself. I'm not visiting anyone that's particularly vulnerable.

I don't fit into the "open everything completely" camp but people are being ludicrous. My SIL straight up told my wife that "even if the odds you die from it are 1 in a million it's not worth the risk!" in a text. I just shook my head.. you have a 1 in 700,000 chance of getting struck by lightning in any given year, 1 in 3000 over a lifetime. Better never go outside.
