CDC Crisis team lands in Baton Rouge this morning. The Lake has canceled all surgeries and procedures. I don't know if they closed their Lev 1 trauma center.
I do know they have no more beds and they are currently boarding over 20 in the ED...

Keep in mind that's a 988 bed hospital, which is almost unheard of these days, especially in a town that size.

All of those won't be COVID beds. I think those only number 150, maybe more, maybe less.
Of course, if they can get the staff, they can convert wards pretty quickly. They have experience...

Don't think so.
I suspect the CDC will focus on enhancing existing assets.

CDC team consisted mostly of a small advisory team and a batch of doctors and nurses for patient care.

Not in my particular area. Maybe down in Baton Rouge.
Are seeing a lot more thirty and forty-somethings in my neck of the woods than last wave...

Is New Orleans getting hit also? I had a vague idea of a melanoma conference in NO end of October which I think is not going to happen….

Look at LuFins Dad's post about Children's Hospital. That's probably the biggest children's facility in the Gulf South. They're full.
I do know as of Wednesday, the state had picked up over 11,000 positive tests in less than a week, with 20% of them being under 18.

Maybe.
You need to hang with some docs...Last big New Orleans party I was at, featured all the pathologists and their staff from LSU med school. They literally drank the restaurant bar dry.

Baton Rouge General now has more cases than they have ever had, since the pandemic started. I think we had around 40 die today, statewide. I look for that number to continue to climb.

That's horrible. Here's hoping it subsides soon.
Which can happen - look at India. Everything was horrible, and then it just subsided.
