When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

: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.

Not in my particular area. Maybe down in Baton Rouge.

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.
