NEW ORLEANS — The Louisiana death toll from the coronavirus pandemic rose Sunday but the rate of infection appeared to have slowed dramatically, according to figures released by the Louisiana Department of Health.

The state had a total of 3,540 confirmed cases as of noon CDT Sunday, compared to 3,315 on March 28.

That increase of 225 cases, or less than 7%, marks a dramatic flattening of the curve Louisiana had experienced last week, when the percentage rise was as high as 28% on some days.

Yeah, Probably not a lot of testing going on on Saturday in Louisiana. Hospital cases, but not doctor’s offices.

Washington Times indulging in a little fake news of their own.

Difference is that they’ll get called on it.

The nation’s (USA) rate of increase has decreased for four days in
a row. I’m watching closely to see what happens today.

Not testing. They test for flu, flu is negative, they know it’s Covid-19.

Terrible if anyone gets it, but this is a Cat 5 hurricane that is winding up being a 1 at landfall. Some are cheering it being a catastrophe(some here also). It's showing signs of being no more deadly than the flu, .1-.3 % mortality. The seasonal flu is .1-.2%. Sorry math does not lie but liberals and their willing allies do. The media want this to be a 1918 style pandemic to usher in their revolution and their golden age of millennials and their fickle feelings running the show.

Look on YouTube today of all the hospitals in NYC that look almost empty. People are slugging it out with this flu at home. Sorry not Ebola or H1NI, more the regular flu with an attitude.

Open it up Trump, it's hype

Seems to me to be a quick-and-dirty common sense method to test.

I got to give it to you guys. You’re committed to your worldview. Actually ROOTING for people to die. It shows just how much you hate your fellow man. Real Christian values, that.

I’m sick of hearing that the death toll rose. The death toll can only go up. How about reporting something meaningful like the trend of daily deaths?

Yes let’s just laugh and assume we’re all going to die. We are waiting for us to become Italy and China. We will be like New York City. We will all die die die. What continuous Chicken Little morons we still have here. Why don’t you go over to the Slate.

I'm not rooting for anyone to die. How dare you claim that! I'm rooting for people and the government to do what's necessary to stop this thing.

I was rooting for travel bans and quarantines back in January. Some happened, some didn't. Enough didn't, that now we have a growing mess.

I was rooting for ramping testing, which eventually happened and is still ramping.

Now I'm rooting for manufacture of masks and goggles to ramp so that everyone can wear a mask. Then society can open back up and the transmission is greatly lowered. That's how you stop this thing.

Louisiana is a state where warm weather and sunshine should be taking hold as spring arrives.

The good folks of Louisiana need to get outside, get fresh air, and sunshine.

These are very, very powerful antidotes to any virus.
