New orleans mayor blames trump for mardi gras not being canceled during coronavirus

You're still ignoring the lies and cover up of the Chinese government.

The President has intelligence services that go far beyond the public interface that China offers. If the President would turn off Fox News and start listening to them instead we'd be in a better position, today. And tomorrow.

As for blaming China... The Blamer-in-Chief tried to re-brand this the "China-virus" long after it already had a well-understood, popular handle, "coronavirus". He definitely has a talent for blaming others, but maybe he was attempting the racism angle on this? Who knows? Maybe it was an attempt at both? Yes! Use racism to activate our underlying nationalism and help redirect blame from him to "others". It's brilliant.

Of course we do, but that doesn't mean any in the IC knew the Chinese government was lying and covering up some or all the truths concerning the Wuhan virus.

BTW, your playing of the race card is misapplied, Chinese isn't a race. Nice strawman though

This is a standard practice with liberal leaders. Their incompetence and indecisiveness is always someone else's fault. It seems especially to be the case in New Orleans. They tried the same scheme to cover their inaction, corruption and incompetence after Katrina.

Mayors obviously do not have access to the resources and intelligence that the President of the United States has. Early on the President was down playing the threat. It sounds to me like the Mayor was just trusting and following the President's lead.


This is what I mean when I say the President kills people with his irresponsible words.


Her only mistake was trusting this so-called President.

That's a mistake none of us should ever make again. But... you're in too deep. you just will. I wish you luck.

Presidents don't have the power to shutdown or call off anything. You have failed repeatedly to learn. try this:

2+2=4

The right rear tire on my truck is low on air. I am sure "Trumpf " had something to do with it.

What? The dirty $#@!.

So, it’s your contention that the Chinese do not have the capability to deceive US intelligence agencies or hide certain information?

Why is New Orleans' coronavirus death rate 7 times New York's? Obesity is a factor

There are other lifestyle issues as well to include high alcohol and drug use. Additionally there are random exposures to chemical from the local plants that could play a role as well.

My home Parish has one of the highest death rates per capita.

The coronavirus has been a far deadlier threat in New Orleans than the rest of the United States, with a per-capita death rate much higher than in New York City. Doctors, public health officials and available data say the Big Easy's high levels of obesity and related ailments may be part of the problem.

"We're just sicker," said Rebekah Gee, who until January was the Health Secretary for Louisiana and now heads up Louisiana State University's healthcare services division. "We already had tremendous healthcare disparities before this pandemic – one can only imagine they are being amplified now."


Along with New York and Seattle, New Orleans has emerged as one of the early U.S. hotspots for the coronavirus, making it a national test case for how to control and treat the disease. Chief among the concerns raised by doctors working in the Louisiana city is the death rate, which is seven times that of New York and ten times that of Seattle, based on publicly reported data.


New Orleans residents suffer from obesity, diabetes and hypertension at rates higher than the national average, conditions that doctors and public health officials say can make patients more vulnerable to COVID-19, the highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus.


Some 97% of those killed by COVID-19 in Louisiana had a preexisting condition, according to the state health department. Diabetes was seen in 40% of the deaths, obesity in 25%, chronic kidney disease in 23% and cardiac problems in 21%.


New Orleans, which so far has reported more than 270 coronavirus deaths, could be a harbinger for the potential toll the pandemic could take in other parts of the South and Midwest that also have high rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
