Louisiana’s case decline is going to be a steep af downward slope if the first derivative curve bends like this

This is the lowest it has ever been since the pandemic started.

I assume that has to do with just how quickly delta burned through the state. Sharp incline, sharp decline.

Hospitalizations are still going up but the rate of hospitalization is way down. We should see the start of the actual decline early next week-ish.

Not dropping fast enough.

Everyone needs to triple mask and get a booster every 20 minutes.

We're all in this together!

Statistics are hard.

Jk

It's just really easy for data to be tweaked by a small sample size.

5 parishes still over 1.0

Cameron 1.02
Franklin 1.01
Jackson 1.07
Sabine 1.00
Tensas 1.06

All other parishes under 1, with many being under 0.8.

The hospitalizations are starting to plateau statewide and are already plateauing in the major metro areas.

Luckily to my knowledge these are all low population parishes, so with the high population parishes being very low, the numbers should fall

All but Jackson will probably be under 1 by tomorrow. 3 are very close to 1 already and Tensas is dropping like a stone.

Tomorrow's number is 3031.

Would just be nice to see a reduction before Smack Smack holds another Talk Down To The Masses conference

You were so close to the perfect Covid post. Forgot to include “now more than ever.”

Ryno,


LINK /

The website & R(t) is a strong enough metric that Montgomery County & Conroe ISD cite and use it.
