Wednesday Covid Update

If you've been listening to the news, you know that some states are talking about re-opening, sooner than later.  It seems like Georgia will lead the charge.  Governor Kenp thinks that the shutdown is un-sustainable, and I tend to agree with him.  We should re-open with the same vigor we shut down with.

The naysayers, of course, are losing their minds.

So, we turn to the daily numbers from the Louisiana Dept of Health.
Total case-count in the bayou state is 25,258, only 404 more thn yesterday.
Fatalities are at 1473, which is 68 more than yesterday.
Hospital census is currently at 1747,  down 51 from yesterday.
Ventilator count is 287, down 10 from yesterday.

My home parish of Rapides is reporting 217 cases, up four from yesterday, but we keep the same seven (7) deaths on the books.

Belle said that she wanted a BLT for lunch today, so I trekked down to the local grocer to get some supplies.  It appears that their restrooms are closed for the duration.

Yep, those are porta-potties in front of the grocery store.

No matter, I got the bacon and good, fresh bread, and headed home.  In a few minutes I had the griddle hot, cooking bacon for my lady.  With fresh tomatoes.

Now, we're back in the house hunkered down.  There is thunder off to the west and the weather-weenies tell us that we're in for a good, hard blow.
