What do you think the cost per patient treated at the Convention Center will come out? Over $500k per person?

As of April 6th it was at $110 million for the work to create temporary hospital. LINK

Latest story I can find is from last week from WWL is that it is pretty much empty. LINK

Last I read they had a whopping 34 or 38 patients and those were post hospital releases that just needed a 14 day quarantine. So you can up that $500k number I think.

Homeless or assisted living people? Or they had some sort of special needs.

After all is said and done, it will likely be close to, if not over, $1 million per patient, without adding the actual cost of medical care on as well.

How many total have they actually had in there?

Someone made out like a fricking bandit.

frick, if only we were able to sue those who pushed those initial insane models.

This is all just so hilariously tragic.

Currently, the federal government covers 75% of the costs incurred by the state responding to the coronavirus. But Dardenne said once Louisiana hits $661 million in spending, the share moves to 90%-10% federal-state.


The more they spend, the less it costs them.

This is exactly what’s happening. It is why they decided to build out 1,000 additional beds when 1,000 already existed, but were housing less than 100 patients. JBE is going to get to $661 Mil one way or another.

Which is why without hesitation they're throwing big sums of money to the hospitals. So far, 30mil to Oschner and another 40mil to OLOL.
