Louisiana Covid Update - Day 52

On the 52nd day of the lockdown ordered by the tyrant Edwards, let's look at the numbers.

Total case count today is 30652, an increase of  253 since yesterday.
Fatality count is 2135 today, an increase of 86 since yesterday.
Statewide hospitalizations are down 33, to 1432.  The vent count today stands at 189.

My home parish of Rapides is showing 316 cases today, with the same  11 death count.

The legislature is in session today, and the leges are considering a bill that would severely strip the power of the governor to close businesses during an emergency.  The governor says that it has no merit, but lots of us think that it has plenty of merit.

Belle and I are trying to support local restaurants durng this shutdown.  Today we ordered take-out from Red River Grill, a local favorite.  Belle got something called a crunch roll, while I opted for shrimp fettuccine.

I saw where LA has the 5th highest death rate (deaths/total pop) in the country. Afterh NY, NJ, CT, and MA.

I'm pretty sure that's mostly NOLA
