Louisiana Covid Update

According to the Louisiana Dept of Health
Active cases today total 22,532, 581 more than yesterday.
Fatalities total 1156, an increase of 53 since yesterday.
Hospital census is 1914, a decrease of 29 since yesterday.

Our governor gave a pretty good briefing today, focusing on his plans to reopen the economy.  He admits that this is a work-in-progress, because he has a lot of work to do, but he is making all the right noise.  Evidently, he's looked at a lot of the grass roots protests going on around the country and realizing that Louisiana is one o the most heavily armed states in the nation.  The last thing he wants is having us  all up in arms.  The man is a petty tyrant, but he's not stupid.
