Finally, the Louisiana Covid Update - Day 51.

Well, I see that the Louisiana Dept of Health finally got their heads our of their collective asses and posted the numbers that should have been posted at noon.  SO, lets read 'em and weep.

Total case count is listed today at 30,399,  That is an interesting jump in the numbers, 403 new cases since yesterday.
Fatalities are listed at 2094, a gain of 52 since yesterday.
Hospitalization show up at 1465, again down from 1512 yesterday.  Lots of fols getting out of the hospital.  That's a good thing.

My home parish of Rapides is showing 318 active cases, with the death count at 11.  You can do the match, but with a population of 128,000 those eleven deaths, while tragic are less than one one-hundredth of a percent (0.0000859).

We closed our economy for this?
