quote:

Gov. John Bel Edwards, a man who is no stranger to putting a hurting on business owners, extended his stay at home order to contain the spread of COVID-19 through May 15. The order was set to expire Thursday.

Each day businesses remain shuttered, layoffs skyrocket. Last week alone, an additional 200,000 filed for unemployment, according to Robert Wooley, of the Louisiana Workforce Commission.

More than 340,000 in Louisiana have filed for unemployment since March 22. That’s more than three times the filings in all of 2019. Now that Edwards has closed the state through at least the middle of May, that number is sure to grow.


quote:

Originally, Edwards told us we had to take the drastic step of shutting down the state’s economy to flatten the curve. We must slow the growth of the coronavirus so as not to overwhelm the state’s hospitals with sick patients, he warned us. On April 5, Edwards went on CNN and told the nation Louisiana was just days away from running out of hospital bed space for intensive care patients and ventilators. It never happened. It never came close to happening.

Edwards has moved the goal post. He now says he will not reopen the state until the number of new hospitalizations decreases 14 days in a row.


frick him, no reason we shouldnt be in phase 1....which isnt much better than closed

I knew it wouldn’t be Stephanie Grace. Having a (D) after your name means you’re automatically correct to her.

We murdered personal accountability and common sense years ago, so your plan won’t work.

Need the state of emergency for FEMA and other Federal money.

State budget, fricked anyway, is even more so with the price of oil tanked. The only way JBE can take the heat of LA budget woes is Fed cash.

The most unfortunate thing I the morons will gladly vote for him again cuz "he's for the people" and of course Orange man bad.
It's the reflexive brainwashing of conservatives=evil
liberals=free shite & hatred for those who dare think differently.
Nutshell.
