Harris county VS Nola

How is it that Harris county has less deaths than Nola ? Significantly higher population ( at least 10 x greater) greater density per person (2700 vs 2000) had large events during time frame of spread (Mardi Gras , rodeo ) yet has a fraction of the deaths . I know Nola Mardi Gras is huge but a lot of Houstonians attend Nola Mardi Gras plus the Galveston festivities . Then you had at least 4 days of the rodeo . How is it that there are only 75 dead in a county larger than the whole state of LA.

Maybe they are counting the real China Virus deaths and not every death that might have had a symptom of it?

shite was pure happenstance and dependent on so many things outside of anybody’s knowable control. The notion that certain places DID certain things better than others is pure folly.

The overwhelming majority of deaths in NOLA occurred in a single demographic, I don’t know the demographic breakdown for Harris county, but I bet if you looked it up, and compared it to the NO area you would have your answer.

Harris County handles public emergencies better.

It’s almost like a dark cloud was hanging over NOLA

Houston has a buttload of former New Orleans residents who have unlikely whipped themselves into shape in the past 15 years. They aren’t exactly dropping like flies in Aldine and Sharpstown.

Houston got da magic bullet.

Well, I don’t want to offend anyone but Hurricane Harvey didn’t exactly bring Houston to its knees for a decade.

Oooo yeah. I remember when 60-70% of Houston proper was underwater for 3-4 weeks because of that.
Idiot.
Idiot.

And why was most of your city underwater? Because your local government failed to maintain the levees.

Boom. You got it.

And if the flood-control structures at Addicks and Barker reservoirs had failed during Hurricane Harvey, it would’ve made Hurricane Katrina look like child’s play.

Tell us what Houston did to magically prevent da Corona.
BTW, I think you basically just made my point.

Since when has the US Corp of Engineers been classified as “local government”?

I think the term is mitigating it instead of prevention.
Did high-risk areas of New Orleans ignore stay-at-home orders?
My guess (and I hate to do this) is that NOPD was much less likely to aggressively break up large gatherings, while Houston PD was licking their chops to do so.
