Louisiana Covid Update - Saturday edition

On this cloudy, cool Saturday, we turn to the Louisiana Dept of Health.
Current Covid Count is 23,580, based on testing.  462 more than yesterday.
Fatalities are reported at 1267, that is 54 more than yesterday
Hospital census is 1761.  That is down 107 since yesterday.  Of those 347 are on ventilators.

My home parish of Rapides is reporting 201 cases with 7 deaths.  That's five cases identified since yesterdays numbers, but we still have the same fatality count that we've had for several days.
h
Orleans parish continues to be a hotspot, with nearly 6000 cases and 324 dead.  I understand tat the mayor has extended the Stay-at-Home order into May.  She doesn't have to worry about me showing up anytime soon.
