re: Is anyone recording the Gov's update today?

I’m assuming you’re talking about Louisiana. Same as Ohio. It’s a government and media driven shutdown now with no clear exit strategy.

If like Ohio, they have added hospital beds but they don’t know how many they have, same with icu beds but don’t know how many, same with ventilators. They don’t know capacity utilization. They don’t know demographics or won’t report on the 193 deaths, ages, preexisting conditions. They have increased reported new cases per day from 6000-8000, to 10000, with stay at home mitigation. Now today, it’s now 1600 at peak. Ohio is around 350 new cases per day, relatively constant.

Every model has over predicted every state, and a lot of my friends say “well better to be lower”. True. But when unsubstantiated, non-peer reviewed models are used to establish draconian mitigation strategies for the country and state, it is bad. Real bad.

Trump needs to get control of Fauci and Birx, and open us back up.
