72 is the average age of death.
One thing for sure, after this, nursing homes are gonna take a hit AND become heavily regulated by the state.
As of yesterday, does not include today’s deaths results

I'm really wanting to either test or get an antibody test if they exist before I go back to work in the nursing home. Working from home sucks but I don't want to spread anything to the much older population.

Do we have any idea how many COVID patients are in the hospital?
anc has a post that reflects the hospitalizations in some states NOT being close to what was expected.
Updated with hospitalization and number of patients on vents.

I used to work in a nursing home so I can relate. Maybe test work populations that interact with the elderly.

Idiots local doctors are sky screaming on Facebook this afternoon saying they are seeing way more cases than this, the numbers are wrong etc etc.

I just found out two of our people were tested today -- really think that one is aspiration pneumonia though. it'll be 5-7 days I'm told before results are back.

While I fully admit I may have missed a similar post, here is what I find interesting that I do not believe the public is being told...
The death rate for COVID-19 is 3.3% (46/1388)
According to DHH there were between 14,000-15,000 cases of flu in LA in 2019 resulting in 1550 reported deaths...that's a death rate of between 10.2% to 11.1%...more than 3 times higher rate of deaths than from COVID-19.
Makes me wonder "What's It All About"?

I hear you. I said the same thing. Flu kills more each year, but we did not shut business down like this.

Need Ed Orgeron talking over these highlights to spice them up a little.

I don’t know what’s worse....
The economy shutting down or people on social media constantly reminding everyone they think this is all one big hoax.

Louisiana governor warns New Orleans could run out of ventilators by early April
Edwards said the state is distributing 100 ventilators to the New Orleans area today and hopes to soon have 200 more, but even with those totals, the governor said that medical facilities would need an additional 600.

Overall, 12.7% of LA's tests have been positive.
Over the last 24 hours, only 7.7% have been positive.
But it also looks like your testing just now ramped up, so not too much stock can be put into that drop.
However, it is a good sign. It's possible it has already peaked.
This is what we started to see in GA.

Probably not. The issues relating to infection control at nursing homes have been known for a couple of decades. Good infection control takes time, effort, leadership, good processes, and a stable, conscientious workforce. That's not how most nursing homes roll. This is a funding issue more than anything.

Yes. Testing have really ramped up by private companies.

Not just in Louisiana. All around the country nursing homes patients are drying.
