Thomas Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 These numbers don't even seem possible. One incredibly sad day of confirmed cases in Louisiana.... The number of known coronavirus cases in Louisiana jumped to 2,305 on Thursday, an increase of 510 cases from Wednesday, and a total of 83 deaths, according to the Louisiana Department of Health. Nearly half of Louisiana's cases -- 997 -- came from New Orleans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 The U.S has blown everyone's trajectory predictions out of the water.

Nearly half of Louisiana's cases -- 997 -- came from New Orleans. New Orleans is only 1/2 the population before Katrina hit. But the people who did go back or stay, were the older, longtime residents. The younger ones, or the ones with a little money, stayed in Houston or Atlanta ( mainly ). They never fixed the healthcare system in that state, which was one of the worst in the nation even before Katrina. Now as people are in desperate need, they're overwhelmed. In Louisiana, the virus seems to be the hardest on people who are diabetic or have some kidney disease. https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/diabetes-tops-underlying-conditions-related-to-louisiana-covid-19-deaths/289-96aa3b22-3800-4860-ac63-f52806c06c77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're still not trying to capture all of the cases because they're making people jump through hoops just to get tested. If they tested everyone, it would probably shock the entire system and drive the markets out of control, which is something the leader of the Free World doesn't want. At this rate, we'll start to see 1,000 people a day dying from this in about 8 days. Italy will break 1,000 deaths in a day probably tomorrow, while also going over the 10,000 mark in deaths. If the virus doesn't slow down, the US will see those types of numbers by the end of April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNorthCydeRises Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Oh . . . and I'm non-essential. They're calling it a 14 day layoff. Must call to get unemployment, and the company adds to the unemployment up to whatever I average in a 40 hour work week. Unemployment normally takes 2 - 3 weeks to kick in, so I'll get paid next week . . but may not get anything the following week, depending on how quick the claim is processed. Thank you Congress and POTUS, for the increase in Unemployment benefits, and the $1,200 bonus money. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted March 27, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 On 3/26/2020 at 4:19 PM, Thomas said: From my neck of the woods down here in Southwest Georgia is this update by Phoebe System today. Am praying numbers stay similar at Sumter but am trying to be measured and realistic as well. Putney opened a shut down part of their system for patient space a couple of days ago. Worried for folks beyond my area as for example I saw the Louisiana news of very rapid increase of cases in the last 24 hours. In almost every case the comment is that because of more available testing now the numbers are shooting up faster because it was already here/there. Am truly becoming a hermit and hope everyone does indeed take care. Albany, Ga. – As of noon Thursday, these were all Phoebe-related COVID-19 test results: Total Positive Results – 217 Total Positive Deaths – 16 Total Positive Patients in Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital – 31 Total Positive Patients in Phoebe Sumter Medical Center - 2 Total Positive Patients in Phoebe Worth Medical Center – 0 Total Positive External Patients – 168 Total Inpatients Awaiting Test Results at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital – 95 Total Inpatients Awaiting Test Results at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center – 26 Total Inpatients Awaiting Test Results at Phoebe Worth Medical Center – 2 Total Other Patients Awaiting Test Results – 1,319 Total Negative Results - 255 An updated AJC article laid bare how pernicious the outbreak was here, yet how swift the calamity that has ensued. https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional/city-under-seige-coronavirus-exacts-heavy-toll-albany/xC9NO677gfDQSaGEQDXSAN/ Quote The service was for 64-year-old Andrew J. Mitchell, an Albany native who worked in custodial services and who died from what his family believes was heart failure. Mitchell came from a large family, and on Feb. 28 as many as 100 people came by the funeral home for visitation. The next day, seven of his siblings attended the funeral, along with dozens of his nieces, nephews, cousins and their own families. Some guests traveled in from as far away as Louisiana, Washington, D.C., and Hawaii. They greeted each other with tight handshakes, long embraces and kisses. “The minister, he was shaking pretty much everybody’s hand, just giving the family comfort and condolences,” Mitchell’s niece Chiquita Coleman said. “The funeral home officiants, they were kind of doing the same thing. That’s kind of their job, to give comfort. So there was a lot of touching and hugging and hand-shaking.” Afterward, chapel workers at the exit handed out memory cards. Later, there was a repast at Mitchell’s house and a gathering at the home of a sister. In the days and weeks following, at least two dozen Mitchell family members fell sick with flu-like symptoms... Quote A 67-year-old man who traveled from the Atlanta area for the service later died at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta. His death, on March 11, was Georgia’s first from coronavirus. Izell Williams Jr., the pastor who delivered Mitchell’s eulogy, also fell ill. On March 22, Williams died from the coronavirus. He was 58. Quote One of Mitchell’s nieces is in critical condition at Piedmont Fayette Hospital, teetering on multiple organ failure. Two of his cousins are in intensive care at Phoebe Putney. Three of his sisters were hospitalized but have been discharged. Mitchell’s younger brother, Horace, returned to Baton Rouge and came down with a low-grade fever, nausea, cough and a loss of appetite. He went to a drive-through testing center and several days later learned he had the coronavirus. After going five days without a fever, he returned to work as a neurosurgeon on Tuesday. ~lw3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
