New Orleans and Corona

Farmstud and HedonistForever have the answers. With no change in human behavior, each person who's infected will pass the disease onto 2.5 people. Then you've got something like the miracle of compound interest, as described by Benjamin Franklin, on speed.

TF - your racism exposes your ignorance and lack of personal self-esteem.

All of us are human beings - regardless of differences in the envelope.

Pointing out crime statistics as it relates to any particular race or religion is one thing, condemning all persons of a particular race or religion is inhumane and must be called out.

I don't think I understand who you know who is..Can you please enlighten us all?

Because it sounded like you just told people to commit hate crimes but if that is untrue please clear it up for me. Originally Posted by Sienna91

If anyone has ever been to Louisiana, they know that the majority of the people are black. Everyone knows there a lot of black people in Louisiana. But everyone seems to get along OK. I have been to Louisiana a lot, years ago I set up a business there; sold it a few years later. No problems. Now then you want to talk about race problems; to to Memphis, Tennessee. Damn that place was about 80% black 40 years ago, every guy I worked with carried a gun, both black and white. The crime levels were wild because it only takes a few people to make things crazy.

Now onto the subject. The celebrations and all of the street parades should have been canceled. But people want to do what they want, and they don't want to listen. Most people are like that, not just in Louisiana. Most political officials just want to get along with everyone to get elected again. They didn't have the guts to stop the party. The sickness level is now wild because it only takes a few people to make things crazy.

Before commenting and making a joke of the worst pandemic in history, pick up a book and go on line and read up on things. You might learn something.

If you think {staff edit- ck} are so cool, move to New Orleans. Or at least move to MLK and Malcom x in South Dallas. See how you like it. Originally Posted by Turd Ferguson ATX

New Orleans is majority black and so it I think Baton Rouge is also after the city split off to form another city.

since this is about new orleans. I do have a gripe about the mayor of new orleans.


I cannot believe the people of new orleans voted for a california transplant over a new orleans native. that was a complete shock for me.

Kalifornia is shipping out their socialists to infect the rest of America.
Bloomie- one infected" kalifornia is the model for the nation!"

ugh.. Louisiana is not majority black. you should know better.

Lets print the money, buy them out, and bulldoze that shithole.

The incubation period is suggested to be about 15 days and many people who test positive have very minor symptoms. People could been sick and passed it off as a cold or the flu. This is not unusual when you put a lot of people in a small area. When my ship deployed almost everyone had some little illness for a couple of weeks.

I lived just outside Orleans Parish in Jefferson Parish for 20 years and the only thing I miss is the food.

I think all are in agreement that Mardi Gras was a powder keg for the virus spread, but.. if the cases are just now exploding, and Fat Tuesday was a month ago.. is that not concerning? I get that the virus may not show symptoms for a few days after you catch it, if any at all, but.. a month? shouldn't these people be over it by now? Originally Posted by Chung Tran

It could very well be that letting the disease move through the community is inevitable. It didn't help that the ChiComs and WHO lied to us.

This isn't polio. Be thankful that only some of the old and feeble are succumbing to it and not our children.

Don't panic. We'll get through it.

You may well be correct as the outlook for the longer run, G!

There are at least 2700 cases in Louisiana. I'm sure there are a much of recovered cases, but if people don't return to get tested, the recovery ones don't get reported.
