But u used La’s numbers with Nolas population. So it’s all skewed and not relevant


Jesus. That was corrected in original post and subsequent post.

Almost of Italy’s cases are in Lombardy. About 10 million people.

I told you guys this last night. The real numbers will scare the shite out of everyone on here who lives in Louisiana. Mayo is dumping all the test results today for Louisiana and it’s going to be shocking from what I hear.

Doctors told me this morning that close to 90% of the patients now being tested in New Orleans are testing positive.




Chiropractors are not Doctors.

This is true. Ochsner alone as a back log of over 2000 test to be released.

Although it should plummet the mortality rate.



And when they are released there will be a five day lag time between when patients were tested and when results are released. So look at the new numbers as if we are almost a week behind.

So was the doubling of private results the 'big drop' you were talking about?

Per capita doesn't matter when we're talking virus spread. The population here is significantly less in numbers and density. Infection rate will reach a peak here sooner and at far lower TOTAL numbers than places like Italy or NYC.

About 10 million people in 9,260 sq miles. By comparison, Louisiana has 4.66 million people in 52,378 sq miles. That’s insane.

I would like to see how race plays into this. I was reading an article today about Albany ga being one of the hottest virus areas for ga. Heavy AA community. Article even said that after positive tests several victims still were not isolating themselves.

Latest update after a bunch of those Oschner cases came through day drops the infection rate to 23% of all people tested

This disaster isn’t going the way some have been predicting today

Not sure what that does for you one way or the other. Everyone knows the sickest most obvious cases were tested at the beginning. Now, access to tests is opening up.

How probable is it that Nola is so bad because of hosting Mardi Gras?

Do the timelines match up?

MrLSU was saying earlier in the thread that his doctor sources at Touro were saying that 90% of these new tests were coming back positive

Thankfully, he was dead wrong

Tests are still only being approved by doctors yet less than 1/4 are actually positive. Hopefully the end of flu season and less pollen in the air will make less people (and presumably their doctor) believe they may have the virus.

The state has 585...
He’s from New Orleans so he believes it’s the same thing.
