OK, thanks. Now we can do apples to apples.

Here's what you shared at that link:

According to this data, (No, I have not validated it...)
New Orleans, (La.) is more deadly, Covid-19 deaths per
capita wise, than Italy, Spain, or any country on the planet,
for that matter. (China's true numbers probably should
be considered "unknown".)

Hmm... Glad I missed Mardi-Gras this year.

Yes, I have a hunch N.O. is going to get pretty ugly.

New Orleans is interesting.
Most places with a heavy covid load have a large Chinese population that probably went to Hubei and returned with the flu in Dec/Jan.
New Orleans has a large amount of trade with China.
But not a large population.
