Louisiana Covid Update - Day 46

On this beautiful Thursday afternoon on Day 46 of the Covid lockdown, we turn to the Louisiana Dept of Health for the numbers.

We currently have 28,001 total reported cases.  That's 341 more than yesterday.
Fatalities tally at 1862.  That's 60 more than yesterday.
Hospitalizations continue at 1602, that's 27 less than yesterday.  Of t those, 231 are on a ventilator.  That number continues to drop as well.

I've been making leaflet drops on my State Senator.  He talked like a real conservative when he campaigned last year, but I'm not hearing much out of him right now.  Evidently, his office isn't getting mail from the US Post Office.  That's the excuse his assistant is giving me, and frankly, I'm not sure why we hired this guy.

Our Governor met with President Trump yesterday, and he's making hay out of that visit.  It will be interesting to see what he reports today.
