In Louisiana, No Idea When Coronavirus Cases Rise Might Ease

In Louisiana, No Idea When Coronavirus Cases Rise Might Ease

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana has the nation's highest rate of new COVID-19 infections per capita, and hospital executives don't see any relief coming soon.

Brian Crawford is the chief administrative officer for the Shreveport-Bossier City area health system. He says the system's beds are filling up with coronavirus patients, and nearly 90% of them are unvaccinated.

The growing numbers of seriously ill patients and urgent pleas from government officials and health workers may be having an effect on vaccination rates. For weeks, the number of people seeking their first shot was around 20,000 or less.

It began going up as caseloads exploded in mid-July and was more than 90,000 so far this week.
