Louisiana keeps breaking COVID-19 hospitalization records
The Associated Press ^ | August 6, 2021

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The number of patients hospitalized in Louisiana with COVID-19 continued Friday to climb to new heights, as the state grapples with its worst surge of the coronavirus illness since the start of the pandemic.

For the fourth day, the state set new coronavirus hospitalization records. The state Department of Health reported 2,421 people were in hospitals around the state with COVID-19, an increase of 71 people from the day before and more than eight times the number hospitalized at the start of July.

Louisiana is confirming thousands of new coronavirus cases each day, driven by the highly contagious delta variant and the large number of people who remain unvaccinated around the state. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Louisiana has the highest number of new cases per capita across the country over the last week.

The state also is among the bottom five for its vaccination rates, though it’s started to see sizable increases in the number of people newly seeking their first shots as the COVID-19 hospitalization numbers worsen and health care leaders issue dire warnings about overwhelmed hospitals.

So what is the standard for hospitalizations and has it changed recently?

Wow, there will be a boom in the funeral business, a flooded market as so many empty houses. Associated Press has always been good to keep the narrative alive. THIS is the END. DOOM, this disease is killing us all. NOTHING in history has done so much devastation, does not compare to anything we have seen. When we ALL get vaccinated, it will stop. Just trust them... go get the jab.

Louisiana has how many millions of people?

And AP is screaming about 2400 in the hospital?

Yet not a peep from Big Media about the hundreds / thousands that die every year from suicide, car accidents, ghetto violence, etc.

But a whopping 2400 people in the hospital in Louisiana! Wow!

(amazing that people still fall for this false hysteria!!)

Once again we see nothing from the Ass Press here on just how many of these new covid cases were from VACCINATED people.

All they can do is piss and moan about the unvaxxed.

It’s because a majority of residents can’t get an ID card so they can’t get the vaccine.

And how many illegals is the Biden Administration shuttling to Louisiana cities & towns? Given the states proximity to Texas I’m guessing ‘a lot’.

On what basis do you say that? Can you point to some
resource with stats?

They’ve been LYING to us ALL ALONG!!!

Are they relying on the FAKE data from the CDC whose test cannot distinguish between the Common Every Day Flu and COVID-19?

Or they relying on the FAKE data from the hospitals who are ALSO relying on that same FAKE test to report their case numbers?

Or are they relying on the same hospital systems that purposefully lied about the numbers of deaths and cases so they could haul in a load of cash from the federal government?

Or, are the reporting false positive COVID-19 cases because they are purposefully abusing the PCR test with cycles of 30+ which leads to 80%+ false positive COVID-19 results?

It was sarcasm.
ID card for voting is racist.
ID card of vaccine is not?

Whatever the rate is, I am not getting vaxxed. I am not an anti-vaxxer, but I don’t trust this one. Too many people trying to get me to get something makes my antennae quiver.I am healthy so I will just take my chances. Plus, this whole scenario is like what you see in a lot of Zombie Apocalypse documentaries. After it hits, all that will be left is Rednecks and Negroes.

Search demographics for each state. Immigrant pop and or Hispanic pop.
While some are legal some are not.
Louisiana looks like 4-8%.
