Louisiana Covid Update - Tornado Edition

Looking at today's Covid numbers, we turn to the Louisiana Dept of Health.
Today's case count is 25,739. that is 481 more than yesterday.
Fatalities are listed at 1540, an increase of 67 since yesterday.
Hospital census stands at 1727. a decrease of 20 since yesterday.
The vent count is at 274, a decease of 13 since yesterday.

My home parish of Rapides is reporting 220 cases, three (3) up since yesterday, and the death count has increased by one, to eight (8) total.

Interestingly, we had one woman killed by a tornado last night.  And, the covid death count increased by one.  We're not saying that everyone who dies of anything is counted in the Covid victim column, but it looks awfully suspicious.

We got whacked by tornadoes last night, but PawPaw and family are safe.  It seemed to have come out of Texas, waltzed across Vernon parish, and come into the western part of Rapides.  It tended south of Alexandria and did millions of dollars of damage to the Ag center at LSU-Alexandria.  Tractors destroyed, vehicles destroyed, sheds and buildings demolished.  They'll be finding building steel in the trees for months.

No damage on PawPaw's little acre, unless you count  leaves and the pool chemistry getting screwed up my about 4" of rain water.  We're fine, really.
