Wait a minute here! As of this morning, we only have about 5500 confirmed cases in the US and only about 850 deaths nationwide. (Plus Almost 200 recoveries!)
... and this doctor is saying his local associates have seen “several hundred cases” each?!?!? Doesn’t add up. All of LA only has about 1300 cases.
Are my numbers wrong?
There were 1172 total confirmed cases in the State of Louisiana on 3-23-2020. I picked that date since that would be the most recent day this doctor would likely be talking about. As of today 3-25-2020 there were 491 cases that are in hospitals and 163 on ventilators. I guess when he talks about several hundred cases each he is including ones he sent home that weren’t confirmed but he is guessing they were positive?
