New Orleans

I just heard New Orleans was put on citywide lockdown. Probably a bit too late but better late than never I guess.

Louisiana has a problem. Kind of strange for them to be one of the “hot spots” considering the other states seem to be international tourist destinations.

Im guessing mardi gras 2020 had some unintended consequences.

All large cities and ports are more susceptible. Especially one with the environment of Nola.

I do a lot of work in New Orleans. That town is a huge destination for conventions. Just look at this schedule..

If there is ONE place on this continent for a virus to spread, it’s NOLA.

Supposedly 300 National Guard troops deployed.... also they have a large homeless population.

Mardi Grais happened around the time cases started popping up in the US. It's no wonder they have a good bit of cases.

There's little to no doubt Mardi Gras and the start of crawfish boil season spread that crap like wildfire in Louisiana.

Yep. Conventions. Tourism. Mardi Gras.

The hotspots are just the places that were able to amplify testing the fastest. It is already everywhere.

 

[Confucius Say]

New Orleans is a major port for cruise lines and other industry. That's part of it.

Look at the ms coast. Numbers aren’t huge, but more than anywhere else. Mardi Gras 2020 was killer...

I’m struggling staying away from the crawfish boils.
