LOUISIANA
New Orleans emerges as next coronavirus epicenter, threatening rest of South
...The growth rate in Louisiana tops all others, according to a University of Louisiana at Lafayette analysis of global data, with the number of cases rising by 30% in the 24 hours before noon on Wednesday. On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a major federal disaster declaration for the state, freeing federal funds and resources.
Some 70% of Louisiana’s 1,795 confirmed cases to date are in the New Orleans metro area.
Freaky.
Louisiana getting slammed, hard.
Prayers.

San Diego-based Navy ship orders crew confined on board amid soaring COVID-19 case numbers
The crew of the San Diego-based amphibious transport dock Somerset have been ordered to remain on board the ship as the Navy announced Wednesday that six more San Diego-based sailors have tested positive for COVID-19.
...The move came as the Navy announced the largest single-day jump in confirmed coronavirus cases Navy-wide. Seventeen Navy sailors and civilians were announced positive for COVID-19 late Wednesday.
Among them are two sailors stationed aboard San Diego-based ships; however, the Navy is no longer disclosing which ships have positive coronavirus cases.
Call the PC police but NOLA’s growth rate likely has to do with racial make up. Blacks tend to congregate at church and at home in large groups.
