This question has been asked in regard to Louisiana for decades now. It is a lawless swampland of mystique and intrigue.

The claim is that Mardi Gras provided a breeding ground for transmission.

Mardi Gras then Spring Break then St Patrick’s Day. Not to mention cruises coming and going. Countless conventions. And general tourism. They have a lot of in and out.

Looking at a state by state breakdown, a lot of the larger numbers make sense (NY, Cali) from a sheer population perspective, but one state that stands out is Louisana.

Total cases: 1,388 (6th most)
Total deaths: 46 (3rd most behind NY and Wash).

What is going on down there

Cali really is doing pretty well. I’m sure their total cases are similar to NY if they tested as much, but only 46 deaths compared to NY 210.

I like the strategy of Newton, Calhoun, Lafayette, Little River counties.

Democrats yesterday rejected the Senate's proposal for the UBI, corporate and small business bailouts, and so we wait. Reportedly they did not like how the $500 billion for corporations was proposed with no clear rules for oversight for how the treasury would distribute the money

They're also holding out for 34 million for the Kennedy Performing Arts Center, a ton of windmills for the Green Deal, Student loans forgiven in full, each business, big or small, receiving funds would have to submit a 5 year diversity plan, a panel to investigate President Trumps handling of the Coronavirus, and too many other liberal add ons to list. Some one should ask Pelosi how any of those things help the Americans who are losing their jobs or the business that are closing. Dems held up those folks payments for over a week, with their ridiculous add on bull shit.

Man they wanted to give the impression they were giving some effort down at Howard Memorial - “hey y’all, let’s run some tests on 1-4 of us so at least we look like we’re tryin - unlike them asshats over at Stamps & Foreman”.

Welp...

The epidemiologist everyone wanted to quote so much early on that predicted 2,000,000+ deaths in the US and 500,000+ in the U.K. now says the U.K. will likely see way less than 20,000 and that the U.K. has plenty of ICU beds. Also instead of lasting 12-18 months like originally predicted he’s saying they could see the peak in 2-3 weeks.

I’m not a big fan clay travis but someone posted a tweet of him calling these predictions “fear porn”. It’s hard not to agree with that.

 

[HogPocket9455]

My aunt in San Diego tested positive. She (medical administration) and her boyfriend (police) have both been sick. Self quarantined a few days ago. I don’t know if he’s gotten his results. I guess it’s been pretty rough. Both early 50s.

Imagine that, someone fear mongering and the media printing it.

Democrat Michigan governor latest to stop its people from being prescribed hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid. This comes after democrat governor from Nevada did a similar order a few days ago. These people are disgusting filth. Give me one good reason why they would not allow a dying pts with covid the chance at this drug?
