Mortality rate basically the same as before. Percentage of positive tests went down.
0

People keep blaming NOLA for all this but it is pretty clear that the reason NOLA is the hot spot is bc of Mardi Gras when thousands of people from all around the world descended on NO right at the time the virus was making its way to the US. Are we mad that NO didn’t cancel Mardi Gras??

TBH, it probably depends what happens with all of this. If tens of thousands people die. Then yeah, we'll probably look back and say we should've cancelled Mardi Gras, that accelerated the spread.
ETA: Regardless, it was always going to spread fastest in densely populated areas.

My point is that everyone is fussing at NO for not taking this seriously but in reality this spread was set in motion 2 weeks before this was really a blip on anyone’s radar.

Right. I don't think the timelines match up.

I’m not fussing at NO, it’s just an unfortunate coincidence that Mardi Gras happened just before awareness did.

That rising death count is the most troublesome stat. Hope it slows down.

Even without Mardi Gras NOLA is a huge travel destination city and MSY has a ton of international traffic as well.

I know it's an increase of over 300 cases, but it's seems like % of total positives to total tests has lowered 4% points
Fatality rate may have gone up a little.

don't they represent 75% of the cases and even a larger percentage of the deaths?

I think the better thing to do would be to treat this as a new orleans problem rather than a Louisiana problem. Travel to and from the city, including domestic, should be shut down until things are under control.

I think you’re being too kind. Plenty of people knew this was going to be a big deal. Some ppl had their head buried in the sand and some people were too busy acting smarmy and making fun of the people with concern.
But now we just wanna act like theres no way anyone could have known? Nah.

You want to see that positive rate drop, a 4% drop is huge news. Means we are isolating all the cases.
Still say we are much closer to Seattle than Italy.

It’s a direct result of the private labs ramping up testing. State labs had much stricter requirements for testing. The positive rate should drop significantly as more people are allowed to be tested.

14 didn't die in the last 24 hours. They died sometime in the last week or 2 and their test came back today

They did. Not in the beginning, because that was before it was a known problem. Similarly, no one thought canceling Mardi Gras was even remotely necessary.

The problem with that is large groups of people from all over the state travel to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I assume they are working under the impression many of these people brought the virus back.

You don't think that crippling/shutting down a city/metro area that has, what? a third of the state's population, is a Louisiana problem?
