I bet it looks a whole lot different.
Is this different than the dispersal situation in other states.

“Known” cases doesn’t mean shite with the current testing situation, plus all of the people that are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms...multiply that number by 100 and it would be much more accurate

The word "known" is so worthless to this conversation at this point. It's like having a discussion about what we are going to do about something that happened 90 days ago.

other than WA, likely not. that one nursing home skews their stats (hell still the national stats)
but it's likely going to be worse in terms of spread compared to other urban areas. ignoring any cultural aspects (using the ER as a PCP more often), the populations of EBR/Orleans are ripe with the shite this virus disproportionately affects in critical cases: (1) HIV/AIDS rates (2) diabetes (3) smoking (4) obesity

Probably because testing is shite, not because no one has it.

Major center of underlying condition is New Orleans with many HIV+ residents
According to a study done a few years ago Baton Rouge has the highest HIV rate in the country. New Orleans is 3.

Some of you people are so stupid. We've only tested 530 people so far in Louisiana. Currently 37% of the people tested have come back positive.

should clarify that I'm talking about the perception that Louisiana is over reacting compared to other states.

Any truth to the rumor that Touro ran out of vents yesterday?
