They're all Dems in control in Natchitoches... Oh, they say there'll be some exceptions allowed, such as going to the store, but only one person per household allowed out at a time. And no kids. They couldn't answer other questions like what about people going to work...who have to, like nurses. Just some vague, yeah, of course there'll be exceptions. Okay...what? And how will this be "policed?"
I think they think just issuing this dire warning will be enough to improve matters in the city and parish.
Oh, almost forgot...the proclamation caused another panic and all stores in town were overrun!
Wonder where all those patients went that Governor Cuomo and the California Governor have been touting per need for these ships?
Heck, send them to New Orleans!
Did you hear tonight that our The USNS Comfort Navy hospital ship has only received 20 patients from the city's hospitals?
And the new hospital set up in NYC's Central Park has only 12 I think I heard.
Likewise the U.S.N.S. Mercy, docked in LA, has a total of 15 patients.
Know someone with the virus. Lives in DeSoto Parish, 38 yr old, is in serious condition in the hospital, has developed pneumonia. He's a big fellow, played football in HS and briefly in college, was an OL. He's a little overweight, but still in pretty good shape. Owns an oil field service business, was often in Texas on business. There are over 40 cases in DeSoto.
Marshall Faulk's high school coach, Wayne Reese, SR., died yesterday from covid-19.
Also Tom Dempsey's family called in hospice for Tom who has tested positive. He has also has dementia and is in a nursing home, so his family has been unable to visit. At least that is my understading of his current situation.
We have a family friend who is a physician in Metairie. We spoke to him last night. There are currently 88 Covid patients at East Jefferson Medical Center (as of 4/2).
One interesting thing about what they're seeing at EJ. The 40 to 65 year old men they are seeing who have either mild type 2 diabetes or are pre diabetic are not those that are treating it with diet and exercise. They are those who are on meds.
Prayers to Tom Dempsey, and all those fighting this dread virus. I was there when Dempsey made his kick, November 8, 1970. Old Tulane Stadium was rocking! Never mind that along with a win over the NY Giants, that was the Saints' only win that year, finished 2-12. Typical of the Saints, there were 80,000 there that day...although that number has grown to about a half a million with the claims of being there!
I saw Dr Oz confirm this morning that blood type A reaction to the virus is much worse than blood type 0.
I saw where Jamie Mayo had Firehouse Subs provide a meal for city employees. That was nice. They even made sure that no one was more than 6 feet apart and a picture I saw only had about 30 people in it. Brilliant!
I think everyone alive in the region in 1970 was at that game. I was only 2 and living in Ohio at the time, but for some reason my dad took me to the game, so I was in that 500k+.![]()
That was an amazing kick though. TD's story was/is great. Hope he makes it through this. His family was visiting him everyday before this situation arose.
