Covid In Louidiana

An interesting screen-gab form the Louisiana Dept of Health, showing where Covid-19 is currently whacking Louisiana.


The data shows that Orleans and Jefferson parishes are the state's hot spots, followed by East Baton Rouge and Caddo parishes.  Not surprisingly, the largest metro areas in the state.  My home parish of Rapides, by contrast, is reporting 210 cases with 7 deaths.

After over five weeks of the Stay-At-Home order, folks are starting to get restless.  The legislature is wondering why we can't reopen on a regional or parish basis, but the Governor is balking at this suggestion.  The governors order expires on April 30th.

I left the property for the first time yesterday in several days.  Went to the grocers and got what I needed.  I wore a bandanna like an old-time stagecoach robber.  Very fashionable.  All in direct violation of La RS 14:313.

The Dept of Health updates their figures at noon each day.
